sure sounds like someone's been this route before :)
or why not the work address?

sometimes, there's a reason.  i personally know someone (NOT a second-hand
story) who had his name on the lease for his girlfriend (not a mistress).
in that case, there was no way she could have qualified to rent (income,
credit, etc--don't ask why he went out w/ her).  perhaps insurance?  and
maybe an issue w/ control over the mistress?

hmmm....
