roommate agreements

A roommate agreement is a written document that outlines the expectations, responsibilities, and rules for sharing a living space. It covers topics such as rent payments, utility bills, household chores, guest policies, and noise levels. The purpose is to promote clear communication and prevent conflicts by ensuring everyone understands and agrees on important aspects of shared living. While not always legally binding, it provides a reference point for resolving disputes and maintaining a harmonious environment. Approaching it collaboratively helps roommates establish mutual respect and accountability.
