A flat-sharing agreement is a private, legally binding contract signed between a head tenant (or group of co-tenants) and an incoming flatmate who will not be named directly on the landlord's master lease. Recommended by Tenancy Services, this agreement clearly outlines essential living terms: the exact weekly rent contribution, bond amounts held, utility bill-sharing formulas, designated notice periods for departure, house rules, and how common areas are maintained, preventing disputes since flatmates lack direct protection under the Residential Tenancies Act.
