The North Dakota Room Rental Agreement is a legal document drawn between the residents of a rental apartment or residence. The agreement would outline the terms and conditions as well as other responsibilities agreed upon by all of the co-tenants. Roommate agreements provide a more stable environment in which payments are collected and paid on time and the care of the premises is properly cared for to ensure that there are better opportunities to receive return on any deposits once the lease is over and the tenants vacate the premises. Tenants should read through the document carefully to be certain that they understand their individual responsibilities, financial and otherwise.
