I want to make a roommate agreement that is fair, but binding. How would I make it so that it was a legal document?

Make yourself a list of the stipulations that you can and can't live with. Make it into a lease agreement for both of you to sign. Since you both would sign it & date it, it would be legal.

Pick up a standard rental agreement (banks, Real estate office etc). Just stipulate what room is being rented as opposed to the entire house.
List things like number of visitors permitted, no music after certain times, do they share the kitchen, the amount to be paid and by what date (1st, 15th etc) any deposit which you would give back to ensure the renter doesn't leave the room in a mess when he vacates....

Get your tenant to sign in front of a notary public, that will be very legal. By signing a lease or rental agreement is also good, but with notary public as witness will be much safer. You only pay few bucks to notary public

England/Wales Your customer does not be a tenant, and does not have tenants rights. Their having a newborn does not substitute this. you'll be able to desire to declare the earnings to the tax guy, yet there's a scheme called the lease-a-room scheme meaning you will in all risk pay no tax. you do no longer choose for a 'tenancy settlement' becaus this does not be a tenancy, yet a written settlement could be clever. WHSmiths sell a pre-revealed lodgers settlement for extra or less £5.

Just like any other rental - specify the $$ and what it covers, then sign it and specify the dates it covers.
The big problem is this is IN your house and not like a duplex . . . if things go badly you are in major trouble because they are IN your house not a separate unit.
You need to spell out ahead of time, responsibilities for utilities and house bills, cleaning, laundry useage, parties, hours for music and noise, pets . . .
The list is huge and unless you are 19 and have nothing anyway . . . this is very risky. good luck

as long as you both sign it, it is legal. the best bet is to make sure there is a witness or two as well, as it is easier then if there is a dispute.
try the following website for examples of a lease. it has some for all american states as well as other countries.
