A Florida room rental agreement outlines the responsibilities and rules for co-tenants sharing a living space. Key elements include the agreed-upon monthly rent, a description of the rented room, and any specific house rules or guidelines.
The document also covers the security deposit, stipulating the amount, conditions for its return, and any potential deductions that may be applied. Utility responsibilities may also be defined, clarifying which are included in the rent and which are the subtenant’s responsibility. To ensure an informed selection process for potential subtenants, the primary tenant should use a rental application to gather necessary information.
