A roommate lease agreement in Alaska is a contract between people who share a home. The monthly rent, as well as responsibility for utilities and other costs, will be included in the document. In addition, guidelines for visitors and the use of mutual spaces such as the kitchen and restrooms should be established. Cleaning schedules or the expense of cleaning may also be incorporated into the lease agreement.
