A California roommate agreement defines an arrangement between people occupying the same residence. The specifics of this arrangement can vary significantly. For instance, one roommate can be listed on the lease with a landlord while the other(s) is not. Additionally, each county will have its own definitions of rights or status regarding the various roommate situations that exist. It is therefore quite important to make sure one understands the regulations in the county of residence and the terms of the agreement they are signing into. This would, after all, be considered a signed contract and carry the same weight as any other contract in a court of law.
