Document background
The Cohabitation Rental Agreement is designed for situations where multiple individuals wish to share a rental property in Hong Kong, whether they are friends, colleagues, or unrelated individuals seeking to share housing costs. This document is particularly relevant in Hong Kong's competitive housing market, where shared living arrangements are common due to high property costs. The agreement comprehensively addresses the complexities of shared tenancies, including rent allocation, maintenance responsibilities, and common area usage, while ensuring compliance with Hong Kong's rental laws and regulations. It provides essential protections for both landlords and tenants by clearly defining obligations, establishing payment structures, and setting out dispute resolution procedures. The document is especially useful in urban areas where professionals, students, or young workers often share accommodations.
