Very glad I purchased it

By EG

Extremely helpful and targeted to exactly what I needed as a homeowner who was going to temporarily rent a room to a friend in need of a place to stay. I really appreciated getting not just the rental agreement form but also the explanation of what each question meant and how to answer it. I also liked that the agreement itself was reasonable in its terms. I felt comfortable presenting it to my prospective tenant without seeming like I'd excessively lawyered up for the occasion.

Renting a Room in a Shared House is Different than Renting a Home

By Cynthia R.

My future housemate informed me that a regular rental agreement wouldn't work since we were sharing the house and that a different legal form was required. She was right and this was an easy product to get while I was working on this task late at night.
