Hi,I live here in Arizona and I rent out rooms to roommates here in my house that I myself have been renting for almost 4 years now.
I do not put anyone else on the lease since I am not required to and also I like it to pretty much be "My house"Anyway, instead of a lease, I have the new roomates sign a "Roommate Contract" that I have made up.
Basically it goes over the house rules, rent, etc. kinda like a lease.
My main question is, is there a way to actually make the contract a legal document that can be used against that roommate in a court of law if they tend to not pay rent, or try to leave without paying what they owe, etc?
I always see people neing asked for copies of bills, pictures, etc. on those Court shows to show proof of things.
I'm thinking about getting the contracts notorized, but not sure if that's enough.
