The Lodger Agreement is designed for use in the United States when a property owner wishes to rent out a room or rooms in their primary residence while continuing to live in the property. This type of agreement is distinct from a standard residential lease as it governs a shared living arrangement where the owner maintains primary control and occupation of the property. The document typically includes provisions for rent payment, shared facilities usage, house rules, security deposits, and termination procedures, all while accounting for the specific legal status of lodgers under applicable state laws. It's particularly relevant for homeowners seeking to generate additional income, temporary accommodation providers, and property management companies handling owner-occupied properties. The agreement must comply with both federal housing regulations and state-specific lodger laws, which often provide different rights and obligations compared to traditional landlord-tenant relationships.
