: I HAVE SIGNED LEASE IN MY NAME, BUT IT STATES THE TENANTS WILL BE MY SON
: AND HIS FRIEND.THE FRIEND IS NOW MOVING OUT AND THIS WILL CAUSE HARDSHIP
: ON RENTAL PAYMENTS BEING MADE.IS THIS GROUNDS UNDER NY LAW FOR BREAKING LEASE?
: I AM WILLING TO PAY ANOTHER MONTHS RENT AND LET THEM KEEP SECURITY
: PAYMENT.PLEASE HELP

Did anyone ever point out there's a shift key on your keyboard?

A roommate leaving is not legal grounds to break a lease. If the friend
also was on the lease, he may still be partly responsible. If your son
can get another roommate or find someone to take over, that might be
a way out, or if the landlord allows it. In some areas if the tenant
moves out, the owner would need to show he was not able to re-rent
the place.
