An Alaska roommate agreement is a form that allows a group of people who rent the same residential property to establish rules and routines not included in the lease. The contract can include as much or as little detail as the roommates wish. Most agreements will cover responsibilities regarding cleaning, utilities, and guests. Completing a roommate agreement can help ensure that the property is kept damage-free, the rent and utilities are consistently paid, and disputes are kept to a minimum. In the event of a disagreement, the form establishes how the parties can seek remediation, which may involve seeking a trusted third party to help the roommates resolve any issues.
