Lease for Long-term Renting by the Room

I have a client who wants to rent her home out by the room. I usually get my leases from here at BP but they don't address "common areas" ect so I feel like she needs something a little more specific. 
Does anyone have a lease for Michigan that they would be willing to share? Or where did you get your leases for renting out a room long term? 

Any extra advice is always welcome! Thanks!

Renting by the room has some unique challenges. How do you handle privacy? Who cleans the common areas? How to handle disputes over who ate the leftover pizza? What if one roommate has friends over every night of the week to drink and play FortNite?

I would search the internet for "roommate agreement" or "rent by room agreement" to get some examples. I think you could use an ordinary lease with a little tweaking, then add a list of roommate rules as an addendum.



 I like the idea of adding a roommate addendum. My client was going to rent to college students. I've already gone over  some of the unique challenges that might bring up but she's sticking to it so I'm doing my best to help her out. Thanks for the feedback and advice.
