The Lodger Agreement is essential for situations where a property owner in Saudi Arabia wishes to rent out a room or portion of their primary residence while continuing to live in the property. This document is distinct from a standard lease agreement as it governs a shared living arrangement where the landlord maintains residence in the property. The agreement must comply with Saudi Arabian civil law, Sharia principles, and local municipality regulations. It typically includes detailed provisions for rent payment, shared facilities usage, house rules, and cultural considerations specific to Saudi Arabia. This type of agreement is commonly used for temporary accommodation arrangements, student housing, or professional lodging, and must address both the practical aspects of shared living and the legal requirements of the Saudi jurisdiction.
