A Virginia room rental agreement is a formal contract specifying the terms, responsibilities, rent, utilities, and other shared service payments for individuals agreeing to live together in a unit. It’s important for each roommate to thoroughly examine every part of the contract, as signing it implies a commitment to comply with its stipulations.
If you’re the principal tenant, you should use a rental application to ensure all roommates you bring on are reliable and can meet their rent payments on time.
Title 55.1, Chapter 12 of the Virginia Code (the Virginia Residential Landlord and Tenant Act) details the basic rules for residential rentals but doesn’t clearly specify when a guest turns into a tenant. Nevertheless, an agreement can establish a specific duration after which a guest may be considered a tenant.
