About the cohabitation agreement template: example draft
A cohabitation agreement template can help organize what unmarried people want to discuss about living together. This page produces an illustrative draft that you can edit and take to a local attorney.
The example has not been reviewed by an attorney and is not tailored to the law of any state. Entering a state does not select state-specific clauses or establish enforceability. A private agreement does not by itself change a deed, lease, loan or third party's rights.

Frequently asked questions
Is this cohabitation agreement legally binding?
This example is not reviewed for any state and cannot establish legal effect. A local attorney can explain the requirements and implications for your circumstances.
Does selecting a state customize the document?
No. The location is included only as context for review; the tool does not apply state law or create state-specific clauses.
Can we edit or print the draft?
Yes. Generate the example, edit its text, then copy or print it for legal review. Refreshing clears your work.
Does the draft change a mortgage or lease?
No. A private agreement does not automatically change the rights of a lender, landlord or other third party.
