I have an extra room and would like to find a roommate.
Please tell me what kind of contract I should sign with my roommate.

Should I make a formal document and ask her to sign it?
Should I get a copy of the driver license?

I heard that someone I know had a bad roommate and had a hard time
I would like to know how you all do it.

Please do.

It is the roommate who makes a deal and breaks it. The roommate who gradually becomes more and more assertive and changes his/her attitude to suit his/her own needs. Roommates who think that since you are paying for them, you can have fun and enjoy yourself.

You should get someone who is experienced in real estate and rent related matters to sign the contract, and ask him or her to make the rules and regulations for you, so that you can avoid problems at the least
. You have to make them sign a contract with you, such as rent payment date, yearly or monthly contract, penalty fee for mid-contract, noise, no bringing in, etc., because many people are self-centered
But you seem like an amateur, so you don't even know what to put in the contract
By the way, we are talking about your house ？, right? If you don't report it to the IRS as income on a cash basis, you'll have to do it yourself.

Homeownership. Indeed, I don't even know what to put in the contract. If I rent it out, I should make a contract and have it signed.

Of course, you need to sign it.
Also, if you are a foreign national, you should keep a copy of your passport.
If you are American, a copy of your DL and SS card.

4 You don't know what's in that contract ？ A contract made by an amateur is meaningless, you'll only be hurting yourself
I suggest you get a paralegal to draw up the contract or have an agent act as your manager
Once you move in, it's hard for an amateur to kick you out if there are problems You should expect problems 70% of the time. once you move in, it's hard for an amateur to kick you out. 70% of the time, you'll have problems

5 copies won't help you, all you need is a credit history

It is the professionals who do not.
Even if an agent comes in between, in the end, the conversation will proceed based on their interests as well, (If you don't let them in, you won't get paid.)
Except for evicting someone for breach of contract or non-payment of rent, it will also eventually be in your own negative. Roommates live with you on a daily basis, so it is easy to be confrontational. Bath time, guests, well, there are too many things and professionals don't make such detailed contracts.

An acquaintance of mine has a roommate living in a one-bed room
without the landlord's knowledge.
The landlord is elderly and leaves the management to the caretaker.
The caretaker doesn't even know who lives in each room
and they will never find out or find out.
There are three people living in one of the other beds
and they all go out in one car in the morning.

It is also the caretaker who comes to clean the yard of the apartment once a month and fix what is broken. Various men, various women, and various janitors are in bloom.

I've heard that there are more and more sitters, so I thought it would be a good idea to do a credit history and background check as well as a contract to make sure there are no mistakes.

My roommate, who had no common sense at all, finally left.
I didn't get her passport or a copy of her driver's license because I didn't think that being a Japanese woman would cause any problems
but
she had no common sense at all, not one or two things were broken or damaged that she couldn't use anymore.
He also refused to give me the last month's rent, saying he needed his deposit back.
I wonder if all young Japanese are like that now ？


I saw on the information board that someone who I think is her is asking about an appeal: 。。。。

I wonder if it was a mistake to file a lawsuit instead of an appeal. You've already done it until the appeal was filed, I'm sure.

To avoid bad quality tenants as much as possible, ① Rent is a reasonable price, and if you're cheap, you'll get a reasonable one.　 ② Get a copy of the ID.　 ③ Make sure the contract is in order. ④ Deposit should be returned within 21 days, so don't return it on the spot, but examine the room after you move out.

Of course it depends on the person, but the one I had as a roommate who was 10+ years younger than me was the worst.
They stay for free, complain a lot, break things with impunity, leave things dug up when they get dirty, want to mount you if you pay rent, eat things without permission, and sue you if you break and pull.
These are all Japanese women. Japanese custom or older women pay, women are dependent. Of course, there were some who had one or two problems, but they did not complain even if they deducted the cleaning fee. Japanese are slow to become independent, so they seem to think it is a great waste if you are paying rent.

A man from Japan, one uses the kitchen as much as he can, no cleaning at all. He doesn't speak English and uses it all the time.
One is middle-aged, doesn't turn off the light and the bulb goes out in a week.
Don't be fooled by his polite manner. They are stubborn and don't pay the deposit. Take what you can get first. Don't worry if you don't have a place to stay. Don't be fooled by cheap souvenirs. Be careful of middle-aged men.

Lesson learned.

The filthy ones are out of the question, but the ones who are awfully nervous are also a problem.
They may have no money to buy a car, or they do the laundry several times a day.
Such people are sometimes insensitive to other people.
Think about those of us who pay twice as much for gas, electricity, and water.

If you're not busy, take an Uber to the laundromat.
