The agreement you write up should be checked by a lawyer before presenting and signing by either party. A lawyer in your state will be able tell you what is and is not legal binding in this situation. Without a written “legal agreement”, it is next to impossible to evict someone, should there be a necessity. Oral agreements are worthless. You have no proof of an oral agreement. It is also imperative that you have them actually pay “rent” in the form of money, according to their ability and financial situation. And give them a receipt from a formal “receipt book”, and have them sign your copy, to show that they received a “legal” receipt. Because this along with a written agreement helps to facilitate an eviction if the need arises. In this way, you are able to prove your case. You also want to set your agreement up so that you are able to evict the individual(s) at any time, for any reason. Trading house or yard work or anything else along these lines doesn't work very well for private parties, because you are back to trying to prove to the court that the other person did not perform as agreed. It is your word against theirs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
