ACT Shared Tenancy Agreement

Do you share a house or flat with a roommate? Be sure that everyone understands their obligations with this Shared Tenancy Agreement for Australian Capital Territory.

• This agreement is also known as a Roommate Agreement. It is NOT a rental contract or tenancy agreement between a landlord and tenant, but rather it is an agreement between roommates who share a tenancy.
• The agreement sets out:
  • how shared household expenses will be divided among the tenants, including rent, bond, long distance charges on a land line (if any), wifi, groceries, etc.,
  • what will happen if one of the roommates decides to move out,
  • responsibility for damage and repairs,
  • what happens if a roommate defaults in performing their obligations,
  • disposal of any abandoned property left behind when a roommate moves out,
  • a sample set of house rules.
• This Shared Tenancy Agreement is intended for use only in the Territory.
• The document template is fully editable and can be easily customised to fit your unique situation.
