The legislation does not address the roommate relationship and what duties and responsibilities roommates have to each other. A written agreement helps you avoid having problems with your roommates.  \nUsually when you rent an apartment or house, there will be a written lease between the landlord and the tenants but it does not explain how those tenants will live together as roommates. A Roommate Agreement states how the roommates will share the responsibilities of renting –for example, how much ofthe rent each roommate is responsible for paying, how the rent will be paid to the landlord, and who will pay the landlord.  \nWhat should a Roommate Agreement say?  \nThis form is a fillable version of our Sample Roommate Agreement. Be aware that the sample agreement contains some terms that may not apply to your situation, so it should be adapted to fit your situation. Additional terms should be added if they are needed. Before agreeing to terms in an agreement, the tenants should get legal advice.  \nNote: If your landlord is your roommate, the “Sample Living with Your Landlord Agreement for Alberta Renters”(and form) would be more appropriate foryour situation.  \nDisclaimer  \nThis form is for information purposes only and nothing in the form is legal advice.
