Create a Roommate Agreement Online
Moving in with roommates? LeaseSetup helps you create a clean roommate agreement online so everyone understands rent, utilities, deposits, guests, chores, pets, and shared expectations.
Why use a roommate agreement?
Roommate problems usually happen because expectations were never written down. A simple agreement helps everyone understand the rules before money, deposits, and shared space become stressful.
Rent and utilities
Clarify rent share, payment due dates, utilities, deposits, and what each roommate is responsible for.
House rules
Document guests, quiet hours, pets, chores, parking, cleaning, smoking, and shared space expectations.
Signed record
Instead of relying on texts or verbal promises, everyone gets a clearer signed PDF for their records.

Roommate agreement FAQs
Quick answers for common roommate situations.
Do roommates really need a written agreement?
A written agreement is smart because it helps avoid misunderstandings about rent, utilities, deposits, guests, chores, pets, and move-out rules.
Can this work for college roommates?
Yes. College roommates are one of the best use cases because off-campus housing often involves shared rent, utilities, deposits, and parent or remote coordination.
Is this the same as a lease?
A roommate agreement is usually focused on shared responsibilities between roommates. A full lease is usually between a landlord and tenant for the property.
Can roommates sign remotely?
LeaseSetup is built for online signing, so the agreement can be created and completed without printing or scanning.
Do both sides get a copy?
The goal is for the completed agreement to be available as a clean signed PDF for records.
