How to Word Lease-Tenant and Guarantor

[Ashley Vellon]

I manage a college rental for a family member.  From my understanding, the family member believes that to best protect himself, the parental guarantor should be listed as the tenant on the lease and the college student tenant should be listed as the guarantor.  I believe the opposite is true for max protection, since the college student is the one who will live in the house and the parent is out of state.  

Please tell me what you think!
