Situation: I bought a condo about 6 months ago. In a month or two, my best friend will be moving in with me (paying rent, a portion of utilities, etc). He and I are both college educated men in our mid twenties (does 24 count as mid 20s? ick, getting old) and we're looking to evidence our agreement with some sort of writing.
I know this will be a landlord/tenant relationship, but I'm having trouble finding some sort of sample document to cover our situation. We're going to be sharing the same space, so we'll split utilities and probably things like food and other consumables. Can someone either point me in the right direction or help me figure out what I'm looking for? I've been able to find "roommate agreements" at a lot of college websites and then a trillion different leases. I think if there isn't some sort of well founded document that I can either edit myself or have drawn up cheaply (think LegalZoom, not hiring an attorney) I may go with a lease and a roommate agreement.
But, a lot of you are more seasoned and experienced... so, help?
