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

In 2021, a personal client in Texas sought assistance with drafting a roommate agreement to outline essential rights and responsibilities should the parties decide to move out of their shared residence. The client specifically needed the contract to stipulate a 60-day notice period, the right for tenants to access the property freely, and provisions regarding moving belongings and pets. Additionally, the agreement required the transfer of ownership for a specific vehicle, along with clauses ensuring that all signers acknowledged their understanding of the terms and had the opportunity to consult an attorney. As a result, the client received one proposal from a licensed lawyer, with a flat fee bid of $850, all submitted to complete the work within the requested deadline of over a week.
