New Brunswick rental forms
Roommate Agreement
A roommate agreement sets the house rules between people sharing a place, so everyone knows what was agreed. New Brunswick publishes a simple form for it.
Tenant · From Service New Brunswick
What it is
This is a non-statutory agreement between roommates. It is not your lease with the landlord, but it records how you split rent and run the household.
When to use it
- You are moving in with roommates and want clear, shared expectations.
- You want to avoid arguments about rent shares, bills, and chores later.
The rule in New Brunswick
A roommate agreement is between the roommates, not with the landlord, so it does not change your obligations under the lease. It still helps a lot to have it in writing.
How to fill it
- 1
Agree how rent and the deposit are split.
- 2
Decide who pays which utilities, and how chores and guests work.
- 3
Everyone signs, and each keeps a copy.

Common questions
Is a roommate agreement legally binding in New Brunswick?
It is an agreement between roommates rather than with the landlord, so it does not change your lease, but putting your arrangement in writing helps prevent disputes.
How should roommates split rent?
Equally, by income, or by room size are all common. A clear split written down avoids arguments later.
This is general information, not legal advice. The official form comes from Service New Brunswick, and the Tenant and Landlord Relations Office decides disputes. Have a question? Ask the rental assistant.
