What you will get

A friendly roommate agreement covering bills, a cleaning rotation, guests, quiet hours, shared items, food, conflict resolution and what happens when someone moves out.

Common mistake

The agreement is vague about money and cleaning.

Fix: Put real numbers in: the rent split, who pays which bill, and a weekly cleaning rota by name.

Other ways it goes wrong

It reads like a legal contract and nobody wants to sign it. Ask for “plain words, short sentences, one page”. An agreement people read is better than one they skip.
It ignores your lease or local rules. Paste the key lease clauses and say “this must not conflict with the lease”. The AI does not know the rules where you live.
The moving-out section is thin. Ask “add notice period, finding a replacement and splitting the deposit”, and agree the numbers with everyone before you sign.

Try a variation: fridge version

Ask for “a one-page fridge version with the five rules we care about most”. A short sheet gets used more than the full text.

Still not right? Reply with this

Make it specific: add amounts, due dates and a weekly cleaning rota with our names. Keep the friendly tone.
