The Michigan roommate agreement directs the arranged expectations concerning the participants of a shared rental unit and the finer points of the transaction. Formulating a commitment to lease a residence can be complicated when the agreement is amongst many different occupants rather than a single tenant. The available form allows the details of the accord to be archived in a written format to refer to on an as-needed basis. The document indicates the following information for recording purposes:

• Roommates’ Names
• Landlord’s Name
• Rent Amounts for Each Roommate
• Utilities Assignment
• Security Deposit
• Residence Rules and Policies

Agreement to the terms of the contract is made enforceable when executed by all the involved individuals. Signing in the presence of a notary official will provide an additional layer of authentication should the validity of the document be called into speculation.
