A Rhode Island room rental agreement is a legally binding document explaining the arrangement between a primary tenant and a subtenant renting a private room on a property.
This document includes a description of the room that each tenant will occupy. It also specifies the monthly rent amount and security deposits they’ll pay. Before drafting this agreement, you can have the subtenant complete a rental application to ensure they’ll be a suitable roommate.
After How Long Does a Guest Become a Tenant in Rhode Island?
The Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (Title 34, Chapter 18 of the Rhode Island General Laws) doesn’t define the exact duration; landlords have the discretion to establish their own policies regarding guest stays. These policies can vary, but a standard maximum limit for a guest’s stay is around 15 days in six months.
