Post: How to handle security deposit with two tenants on the lease

So I should definitely put them both on the lease as responsible for rent money? I figured keeping the guy off the lease would simplify things if they split. Is that just totally a wrongheaded idea?

I'm about to collect the security deposit and sign the lease with my very first tenants, a young unmarried couple. The girl makes enough money to rent the property on her own, so I'm tempted to leave the guy off the lease in case they split up. But what if they both want to be on the lease, and I decide to allow that? How is the security deposit handled in this situation, particularly when returning the deposit?
