A Mississippi room rental agreement is a legal contract defining the arrangement of multiple tenants living together under one property. Under this arrangement, the primary tenant rents one room of the property they rent from a landlord to another tenant.
All tenants refer to this agreement for guidance on using the shared spaces and recognizing everyone’s private rooms. This document is an extension of the original lease, as it details information about the division of rent, utilities, and maintenance/cleaning responsibilities. Before completing a sublease, please screen your potential roommates with a rental application to ensure they’re a good fit.
