Room Rental Agreement - Househacking

[Nic Logan]

Can I use a room rental agreement I found on the internet? What’s the difference between a room rental agreement and a lease?

I am househacking a condo in the northern Virginia area. I want to rent out 2 rooms and live in the 3rd. Because I am living in the condo with my tenants, do I need a strict lease? I found some short rental agreements online that I want to use. I feel like that is too easy and I have heard the horror stories of insufficient leases. Is a room rental agreement wrought when househacking?
