The North Carolina roommate agreement is used for roommates to agree to a set of policies concerning the use and maintenance of a shared living space. Before an agreement is made, the roommates should communicate their preferences and living needs to each other in order to reduce the likelihood of disagreements and miscommunications. The roommates may also wish to establish a weekly or monthly schedule for cleaning and maintenance responsibilities. After reaching a mutual agreement, the roommates can sign the document, thereby putting the agreement into effect.
