Lodger agreement checklist
Make it Legal™ Checklist
Here are a few important steps to take to finish your document
Both the owner and the lodger (the parties) must sign the Lodger Agreement. You can sign your Lodger Agreement by either:
Signing online
-
You can sign online using RocketSign.
-
You can send an email request inviting the other party (eg your lodger) to sign.
Signing in print
-
Print a copy of your Lodger Agreement for each party. Everybody should sign and date all copies.
A copy of your Lodger Agreement will be stored automatically in your Rocket Lawyer account ‘Dashboard’.
If you signed and sent your lodger online, you should also download and securely store a copy of your agreement for your records.
If you signed in print, you should securely store your paper copy of the signed Lodger Agreement.
The owner:
-
Must provide the lodger with a copy of the agreement.
-
Should as a matter of good practice place any deposit in a separate bank account.
-
Should make an Inventory of the room and its contents.
