Good Thursday morning to you, fellow Real Property Listserve members:

I am hoping that one of you may have a template that you would be willing
to share a lease agreement where a single tenant will be sharing common
areas (e.g. kitchen, living room, laundry room, yard) with the
landlord/owner, who will be also occupying the same home.
The tenant will have exclusive use of one (1) bedroom and its adjoining
bathroom, but have the right to equally share in the use of the home's
common areas, both inside and outside.

Landlord/owner and tenant are agreeable to a 6 month lease, but also agree
that it will be terminable on 30 days notice by either side for any or no
reason given the personal nature of the interactions between the two
housemates/occupants.

Obviously there will need to be an understanding, in the lease, or
otherwise, about household chores and cleaning of common areas, scheduling
of gatherings and use of common areas to avoid conflicts to the extent
possible, etc.

The property is in the City of Seattle (which may affect the landlord's
right to terminate such a co-sharing lease with 30 days notice for any
reason).


*Thank you in advance for any proactive advice about and/or examples of
such co-sharing lease agreements.*
