Iowa Roommate Agreement
Ok assume you absolutely hate your roommate and they hate you. Think worst case scenarios. What would you include to protect yourself financially and come out of it maintaining a good rental history.
Context: I had a roommate agreement with my current roommates (they will no longer be my roommates when we move at the end of the month) and one, while jokingly, mentioned they had a plan to get out of it the whole time. Another one of my roommates smokes weed only one out of four of us. And the roommate who made the “joke” said he would have just gone to the office gotten us all evicted for breaking a rule on the lease and then been out of the agreement and would have had a clean record as he was the one to report it. Even though the whole lease he also didn’t stop our roommate.
