Question

marcus and his roommate signed a shared responsibility agreement. they both agreed to clean common areas weekly and pay half the utilities. what is the main benefit of putting this in writing? it helps resolve disputes by clearly defining each person’s obligations it guarantees both roommates will stay for a full year it prevents rent increases from the landlord it allows either roommate to break the lease at any time a tenant wants flexibility because she may need to move for work. which contract best fits her needs? 12 - month lease rental agreement mortgage rent - to - own contract

Explanation:

First Question:

• Option 1: A written agreement defines obligations clearly, helping resolve disputes.
• Option 2: A written roommate agreement can't guarantee they stay a year.
• Option 3: A roommate agreement doesn't affect landlord - set rent increases.
• Option 4: A roommate agreement doesn't allow breaking a lease (lease is with landlord, not roommate - to - roommate). So the correct option is the one about resolving disputes by defining obligations.

• 12 - month lease: Less flexible, as it's a long - term commitment.
• Rental agreement (usually month - to - month): Offers more flexibility, suitable for someone who may need to move for work.
• Mortgage: For buying property, not renting.
• Rent - to - own contract: Focuses on eventual ownership, not flexibility for moving. So the rental agreement is the best fit.

Answer:

It helps resolve disputes by clearly defining each person’s obligations
