FAQ

Respect privacy and boundaries. Don't look through your roommates belongings or private things. Don't borrow or use without asking permission. If it's not yours, leave it. Don't discuss private matters about the roommate (and their social life,) with others. Be polite and considerate.

If you have a roommate or a family member who is listed as a tenant on the lease, s/he will still be bound by the lease even if you are allowed to get out of it.

Generally, a landlord cannot take possession of the rental property, physically remove the tenant or their personal property, or change the locks without going through a court. Depending on the reason for eviction, a landlord must provide the tenant either a 14-Day or 30-day Notice to Quit.

Any guest residing at the property for more than 14 days in a six-month period or spending more than 7 nights consecutively will be considered a tenant. This person must be added to the lease agreement.

Introduction to the Exclusive Rental Agreement It gives the chosen party the exclusive right to lease the property on the landlord's behalf, thereby excluding any other potential property managers or agents from doing so during the term specified in the agreement.

A tenant under lease is characterized by a signed agreement that specifies rental terms—such as payment schedule, duration of occupancy, apartment condition, and utilities. A tenant-at-will, on the other hand, signs no formal lease agreement, and may be bound to items listed in a verbal or written agreement.

In this type of agreement, you as a landlord give exclusive rights to one agent or company to rent your property during a specified period of time. What's unique in this arrangement, is that it entitles the agency to be the exclusive listing agent for that property.

How to write a roommate agreement Names of both tenants. The property address. The dates the lease begins and ends. The amount of rent each person pays. Who pays for utilities. Who pays the security deposit. Which bedroom each person occupies. Who buys food, or if you're each buying your own food.

A Tenant at Will is one who occupies a rented apartment without a lease, but pays rent periodically (typically monthly). Either the landlord or the tenant may terminate this arrangement at any time by giving written notice of 30 days or one full rental period in advance, whichever is longer. No reason is required.

In Massachusetts, if you and your roommate are both on a lease, you don't have the legal power to evict them. If you are the only one on the lease, however, it's possible to evict your roommate—although they must be violating their rental agreement somehow.
