Curious if anyone has struggled with handling security deposits when there are multiple roommates sharing a lease.

This makes them have to all sign the check and cash it together.
How are others handling this?

How are others handling this? Is there actually a law that requires the deposit be returned to everyone on the lease, or can it go back to the person who provided it in the first place.
We're working to build a streamlined roommate shared deposit solution at gowhale.com and are curious to get people's thoughts.
