Contracting with "and" vs "or" in California

Do leases these days have to be contracted with “and” for two people, or can they be contracted as “or” so that either person can dispose of the vehicle without the other (“Sally and Bob” vs “Bob or Sally”), similar to how purchases can be titled that way?

If not, it seems easier to just have one person most likely to deal with the transactions in the house as a sole lessee (for example a married couple where some things are joint, but excellent credit for both and it doesn’t really matter).

I think you are basically asking,

If i sell this car, do i need my co-signer present.

right?

Correct, sorry if the OP was confusing. Also, depending on the answer, is it lessor/Captive specific?

For posterity…the current answer is it can be “or” in CA for the reg based on a DMV check-box choice.
