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

In 2020, a personal client in Washington posted a project seeking assistance with drafting a roommate agreement. The client, along with two co-owners, purchased a house and wanted to establish clear guidelines for living together, which included cost-sharing arrangements, procedures for addressing unexpected expenses, and protocols for exiting the partnership in various situations, such as if a co-owner wanted to leave or was unable to fulfill their financial obligations. As a result, the client received two proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $350 to $800, all submitted to complete the work within the requested deadline of one week.
