Basics

Start with the fundamentals of your living arrangement.

Why This Matters

Most roommate conflicts stem from unspoken expectations. You assume quiet hours start at 10 PM. Your roommate thinks midnight. Neither of you is wrong — you just never discussed it. A roommate agreement prevents these misunderstandings before they become arguments.

Research from apartment management companies shows that households with written agreements have 60% fewer disputes than those without. The act of discussing and writing down expectations forces important conversations that most people avoid until it's too late.

The best time to create a roommate agreement is before you move in together. The second best time is today. This generator walks you through every common friction point, ensuring you cover the topics that actually matter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this roommate agreement legally binding?
This is a social agreement, not a legal contract. It's designed to set expectations and prevent conflicts. For legally binding agreements, consult a local attorney. However, a clear written agreement can serve as evidence of shared expectations if disputes arise.
What topics does the agreement cover?
The agreement covers rent and expense splitting, chore responsibilities, quiet hours, guest policies, shared spaces, food rules, parking, pets, move-out procedures, and conflict resolution methods.
Can I customize the agreement?
The wizard walks you through each section with common options and custom text fields. You can add, remove, or modify any section before printing.
