New York Lease Co-Signer Agreement

Prepare a Co-Tenant Agreement between a landlord and two or more tenants with this easy-to-use template.

• A co-tenancy agreement (also known as a roommate agreement) is ideal for a landlord who rents to college or university students, as it allows for changes in tenants as some roommates leave and others move in to take their place, without having to prepare a new rental agreement each time.
• The agreement amends the original rental agreement by allowing additional or substitute co-tenants to be added, with the landlord's approval.
• The agreement covers each roommate's responsibility for paying their share of the security deposit and other charges.
• The agreement also covers the procedure for a departing co-tenant, and the addition of a new or substitute co-tenant.
• Available in MS Word format.
• This agreement template is generic in nature and is not specific to any country or region. It can be used in any jurisdiction that does not have a required statutory form.

Landlords, is your tenant planning to have a roommate move in? Notify both the original tenant and the new co-tenant (roommate) of their lease obligations with this free letter template.
