You need to get all documents NOTARIZED for it to be legal and binding.doesn't cost much to get it done, but both parties need to sign it in the presence of the Notery.Good Luck, Keep all rent receipts and any records in case you need to take her to small claims court. |

A good simple contract that defines the terms and conditions of your agreement should be fine. Keep it simple and to exactly what you both want and agree too. Perhaps consider adding something in there about a collateral they own that you can use as security - just as long as it's of something of value to them. |

verbal agreements dont mean the same thing today that they used to .....they can be rescinded....the "contract" may stand up in small claims court but i would suggest that if you really want to bind her to a commitment of paying you then you should go to an office supply store and get a promissory note, fill it out, have it notarized, and have it recorded |

You can draw up a contract, have it signed with witnesses, and notarized, filed with the county and bound with leather....but the thing is, you can only sue in small claims court and roommate will only pay if roommate wants to. You might get a judgment on her, but still, that is only paper.
Let us hope your roommate pays you in a timely manner, and she has integrity. |

She has verbally agreed to pay you. I can't imagine why she would want to sign a document unless it would be to make you feel better. Is she that nice a person? |

This sounds like a lost cause truthfully.
Tell her to go borrow the money before she moves out and let a bank worry about all that. Either that or withold her share of the housing deposit.
I think you will have a hard time getting her to sign anything. If I were in her shoes I wouldnt sign a thing. Unfortunately, this is what happens when you lend money to people.
If you are talking about sueing, do you even have proof that she owes money other than your word against hers? |

You need to do a promissory note.
Look at this link, which also has an example at the bottom. Good luck!

It is a little late for that. What would be the advantage to her of signing the document? Tell her if she signs one she will only owe $1000 and maybe she will accept. There is really nothing you can do.
I would never sign such a document since as it is now I can pay you back any time I want with no interest and no repercussions if I don't pay. Can you prove she even owes money. |

You can type up something simple enough. Then, go to a bank and ask for a Notary to witness your signature. If you both sign in front of a Notary - it is 100% legal and will hold up in court. No question. |
