A Michigan room rental agreement is a legal contract outlining the arrangement and expectations for multiple tenants living on the same property. It defines each party’s room, the common spaces, rent payments, security deposits, and utility divisions.
This agreement promotes an enjoyable living space for all parties. If an issue arises, the tenants can refer to the agreement to rectify the problem and ensure each party fulfills their obligations going forward. While issues aren’t completely preventable, you can minimize the risk of problems arising by vetting all potential roommates with a rental application before signing an agreement.
The Michigan Landlord-Tenant Act (Chapter 348 of 1972) doesn’t specify when a guest becomes a tenant. Landlords and tenants should refer to the original lease agreement for a definition to follow. This way, tenants can receive adequate protection.
