When two or more people sign the same rental agreement or lease?or enter into the same oral rental agreement?they are cotenants. Cotenants are more than just roommates?they share the same legal rights and responsibilities.
In technical terms, a roommate is someone you share a bedroom with, while a housemate is someone you share a house or apartment with. However, in the United States, people often use the term roommate, or roomie, to refer to anyone you share a living space with, even if you're not sharing a bedroom.
Having a written roommate agreement makes everyone take their responsibilities more seriously, and helps avoid the misinterpretations and memory lapses that come with oral understandings. Much of your agreement won't be legally binding?for example, a judge likely wouldn't order your roommate to clean the bathroom.
What should I include in my roommate agreement? Paying for Communal Items.Cleaning.Noise.Guest Rules.Food and Mealtimes.Pets.Temperature.
Even if your roommate is a co-tenant, having a roommate agreement is wise because it explains what's allowed, what's not allowed, and who's responsible for certain payments. A roommate agreement is also important because, if your roommate vacates early, it can help you avoid having to pay all of the rent and utilities.
What do I include in a Roommate Agreement?
