I share the rent with roommates. Can I plan just my share?
Yes. On a split lease each roommate owes their own charges, so each one can ask about their own share. Everybody on the lease remains jointly and severally liable for the full rent, and the agreement says so.

The agreement
When the schedule is agreed, Seayora produces a Rent Payment Plan Agreement: the balance, the installments, what happens to late charges, what counts as a default, and what a default does. Both parties read it and sign it by typing their name. A digest of the text is recorded at the moment of each signature and every signing event is chained to the one before it, so any later alteration is detectable.
Both of you have to sign by the date shown on the plan — the landlord’s own response window, and never less than three days. The person who has not signed yet is reminded the day before. If it is still unsigned by then the agreement expires: the rent it covers becomes collectable again, and the resident is given the same short grace period before any late charge as when a request goes unanswered.
The signed agreement is emailed to both parties with a PDF attached and is kept in Documents. It is an agreement between the landlord and the resident; Seayora is not a party to it and does not give legal advice.
