How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Roommate Agreement in Illinois

In 2022, a personal client in Illinois sought assistance with drafting a roommate agreement while considering hiring a caregiver to share living space. The client had specific questions regarding whether to establish a roommate or independent contractor agreement, as well as concerns about the necessity of listing the caregiver on a lease or rental agreement. They required guidance on these matters to ensure clear terms and compliance with relevant laws. As a result, the client received two proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $350 to $1,000, all submitted to meet the work's deadline of over a week.
