lease wording - shared apartment

[jd-science.livejournal.com]

I'm co-owner of a property. The other owners live out-of-state, but I continue to live in the apartment, sharing with roommates (who are tenants, not owners). I'm not sure how to deal with the lease situation. If I only have the tenants on the lease, then I have no legal grounds to live in the apartment, right? But if I'm on the lease, does that mean I'm my own tenant, and I need to list myself as paying myself rent?

Any advice on this, or pointers to resources, would be appreciated. Thanks.
