Lease question for Austin househackers ( by the room)
I have a friend who intends to rent out a room when his new build is ready in may or june. I have pretty standard lease contracts ( like those found here on BP)for my more traditional rentals, but I'm wondering if those of you renting by the room use a standard contract with various addenda that you want for stipulations like shared space like the kitchen, how bills are covered, parking etc etc, OR do you use a totally different lease? It will be his first landlording experience and I'd like to help him avoid some of the pitfalls and have some best practices to start out with.
cheers and thanks in advance.
