Split rent, utilities and deposit between flatmates and generate a written roommate agreement with chores, guest and exit rules.
A roommate agreement is a written contract between flatmates — not with the landlord — that records who pays what, who cleans what, and how someone leaves. This generator splits rent, utilities and the security deposit equally, by private room area or by a custom percentage, builds a weekly chore rotation, and produces a ready-to-sign document covering guests, quiet hours, notice period and deposit refunds. It flags a deposit above the two months' rent cap set by India's Model Tenancy Act, 2021.

Charge by private room area so the master bedroom pays more than the box room.
Notice period, replacement duty and deposit refund are fixed before the first argument.
Warns when the deposit exceeds two months' rent, the cap in the Model Tenancy Act, 2021.
Yes, a signed roommate agreement is enforceable as a contract between the flatmates under the Indian Contract Act, 1872, provided each person gets something in return and consents freely. It does not bind the landlord, and it cannot override the head tenancy or leave and licence agreement — only the people who signed it are bound by it.
The two common methods are an equal split and a split weighted by private room area in square feet, with shared space costs divided equally. A master bedroom of 180 sq ft against a 100 sq ft second room gives roughly a 64/36 rent split before any adjustment for an attached bathroom or balcony.
Under the Model Tenancy Act, 2021, section 11(1), a residential security deposit cannot exceed two months' rent, and non-residential deposits are capped at six months. The Act only applies in states and union territories that have adopted it, so many cities still see deposits of six to ten months' rent under older state rent laws or plain contract.
One month, or 30 days, is the usual contractual notice and it matches the standard month-to-month practice; the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, section 106, sets 15 days as the statutory minimum for a month-to-month residential tenancy. Whatever you choose, write it in the agreement along with who must find the replacement, and consult a lawyer if the tenancy itself has different terms.
