Your Roommate Agreement
Building your roommate agreement with Gemini 3.1 Pro...
Not legal advice: this agreement is a starting point written in plain language. It does not replace the lease and may not be enforceable in every state. Have everyone read it, sign it, and talk to a local tenants' organization or an attorney if you need it to hold up in a dispute.
The Conversation That Saves the Friendship
Most roommate fights are not about the dishes. They are about expectations nobody ever said out loud: how rent gets split when one bedroom is twice the size, whether a partner can effectively move in without paying, who buys toilet paper, and what "quiet" means on a Tuesday night. By the time money is tight or someone is fed up, every answer feels loaded. A written agreement turns those conversations into decisions made on a calm day, when everyone is still reasonable.
This builder walks you through the parts that matter: the rent split math, the utility split, the guest and overnight policy, quiet hours, cleaning, food, how someone leaves, and how disputes get settled. It builds each clause from what you actually picked, flags choices that contradict each other (unlimited overnight guests plus 9 PM quiet hours is a fight waiting to happen), and finishes with a plain-language summary and a signing checklist.
Print two copies, have everyone sign both, and keep one somewhere you can find. The best agreement is the one you never need to read again.
How It Works
Step 1: Enter the basics. Roommate names, the address, total rent, and how you want to split it and the utilities. Pick the lease term and the move-out notice period.
Step 2: Set the house rules (optional). Expand the house rules section and pick a policy for guests, quiet hours, cleaning, food sharing, and disputes, or leave them on the sensible defaults. Add anything else in the free-text box.
Step 3: Review the agreement clause by clause. Read it with your roommates before anyone signs. If a clause does not match reality, change the input and regenerate.
Step 4: Sign and date it. Print or save the agreement, have every roommate sign and date it, and keep a copy each. Update it in writing if circumstances change.
Real Ways People Use It
First apartment with friends: Three college friends splitting a 3-bedroom where the rooms are wildly different sizes. They agree on a room-size split before move-in so nobody feels cheated by September.
Roommates found online: Two strangers sharing a 2-bedroom set quiet hours, a cleaning rotation, and a guest policy on day one, because they have no friendship history to absorb misunderstandings.
Couples sharing with a third: A couple and a friend agree the couple pays slightly more than an equal third (they use more hot water and take the bigger room), and set the overnight guest rule to cover the friend's partner.
Mid-lease replacement: When a roommate moves out early, the remaining two generate a new agreement with the replacement before signing, instead of inheriting handshake terms that nobody wrote down.
Frequently Asked Questions

Is a roommate agreement legally binding?
It can be enforceable as a contract between roommates in many places, but it does not override the lease. If the lease makes everyone jointly responsible for the full rent, the landlord can collect from any one of you. This is not legal advice; check local laws if you need certainty.
What is the fairest way to split rent?
It depends on what each person gets. Equal splits work when the rooms are similar. Splits by room size or by features (private bath, parking) are fairer when the bedrooms differ. The method everyone agrees on before move-in always beats the one argued about after.
What should a roommate agreement include?
The essentials: who pays what for rent and utilities, the payment schedule and due date, guest and overnight policies, quiet hours, cleaning responsibilities, food sharing rules, lease term, move-out notice, and how disputes get resolved.
Can one roommate break the agreement early?
The agreement sets the rules for what happens when someone leaves early: notice required, who finds a replacement, how the deposit and final bills get split. It cannot erase lease obligations, so read both documents together.
Is this roommate agreement builder free?
