Affidavit for summons of dispossessory.
The above stated form was left on front door of the home where I am currently residing with the owner and another tenant.. Owner Terry, checked the box, a) fails to pay the rent which is past due. Demands past due rent of $790. He has received half the rent, but after his share of groceries, I will owe about $50.
I paid partial rent in June. I gave him $150 cash in envelope with a letter explaining that I did not get my Social Security check in june as they state they overpaid me in 2016, and that they have changed the way they calculate SS benefits, which is why they overpaid me, based on a new formula for calculating benefits. I also gave him a check several weeks ago for $50. My rent is $400 per month, (due the middle of the month), minus his share of the groceries. I buy the groceries, and do the cooking. My question is, can he put 2 names on the Affidavit. I have no idea how he created past due rent of $790. Other tenant says he is current with his rent.
Response from Gail:
Since there are (I'm assuming) two names on the lease, two names will be on the affidavit. Doesn't matter who did or didn't pay; both tenants are equally responsible for the full share of the rent.

Response from zddoodah:
Well...it sounds like he did exactly that, so it seems obvious that he can do it.
