Landlord Advice

Welcome to the roommate chore section here at DIY Landlord Forms.

If you’re welcoming new roommates to your property, then it is important to have both a roommate agreement as well as a roommate chore schedule.

Do You Have A Legally Binding Roommate Agreement?

Roommate agreements are extremely important – even if you are sharing the place with your friends. Trust me – there WILL be problems. Sometimes it will be something as simple as the roommate being late on bills. Other times it could be something more serious like your roommate bringing pets on the property when not allowed, or leaving the premises without giving advance notice.

You can protect yourself by creating a roommate agreement. You can create one very easy with our roommate agreement form. This roommate agreement contract will protect you in case of any problems with your roommates.

It’s also good for laying out the ground rules, such as living arrangements or duties that are to be performed by the roommates.

Roommate Chore Schedules:

But what about chores? Well – it’s always good to share the roommate chores, and having them in writing really helps. We’ve had a lot of experience with roommate chores and problems – both with our personal experience, and from listening to tenants or our friends.

Always have a Roommate Chore Schedule.

We’ve created Roommate Chore Schedules here and have made them as easy as possible for you to use. We currently offer roommate chore task lists for up to 4 separate roommates.

All of our documents come in a blank format, with just the days of the weeks filled in. We offer them in both PDF and .DOC format. You can either print out the roommate chart blank template, OR you can use Adobe Acrobat or your favourite word processor such as Microsoft Word, to fill in the roommate chart THEN print it out.

Unfortunately you’ll still have to buy your own fridge magnet to hang this up!

Here are all of the roommate chore charts that we currently offer. If you have any suggestions for additional roommate chart wheels or schedules then please e-mail us and let us know the details. Thanks.
