Sample Roommate Agreement

It may be wise to protect yourself and your roommates by creating a written contract that outlines each roommate's obligations. This contract should specify details such as the portion of the rent each person will pay, responsibility for damages, division of payment for utilities, duration of the rental period, responsibility for finding a replacement in case of early termination, and payment of rent until a replacement is found.

This serves as a clear delineation of the rights and responsibilities of each roommate, ensuring that everyone is aware of what is expected. You can use the sample agreement below as a guide.
