Did your housing or residence life department direct you to Roompact to complete your roommate agreement and/or your suitemate agreement? If you haven’t already, click on the log-in button in the upper right to begin!
What Are And What Is The Purpose Of These Agreements
Having a real and authentic conversation with your roommate and/or suite or apartment mates can help reduce the potential for conflict later and can help you navigate conflict when it inevitably arises. Rather than a static document, an agreement is living document that can change over time. (You can even propose changes to it through the software later if the need arises.)
Don’t think of this as a “checklist item.” It is also not a “legal document.” Think of this activity as more of a process, a series of questions that you can use to facilitate a conversation with your roommate. The document is intended to help you make your preferences and expectations for living together more clear. The conversation itself is more important than the document, but by writing your thoughts down, you can think through them more thoroughly.
How To Complete Your Agreement
After logging in look for the Agreements option on the left hand navigation bar. (If you’re on mobile, click the three lines to access the menu in the upper right.) Depending on your campus, you may have a roommate agreement, a suitemate agreement or both.
Remember to get together with those you live with before filling this out.
Agreements must be completed together, from one device at a time.
Click into an Agreement to begin. You will discuss your answers with your roommate(s) and/or suitemate(s) and fill out the form. Are there things that weren’t asked in your agreement that are important to you? Some schools allow you to add you own terms at the end of the agreement.
At the end of you agreement, you and all of your roommate(s) and/or suitemate(s) will be asked to sign it to complete it. Whoever logged in to complete it can sign directly. Others can enter the email address associated with their Roompact account and also sign. (Alternatively, they can log in on their own device later and sign it then.)
