A Minnesota roommate lease agreement is a convenient way to keep track of the terms and conditions that roommates decide on in a shared living environment. When completed and signed by all parties involved, it becomes a legally binding agreement enforced in a Minnesota court. The signature of someone who accepts to take on a position outlined in this agreement binds them.
