Document background
The Room Lease Agreement is essential for formalizing room rental arrangements in Hong Kong's dynamic residential market. This document is specifically designed for situations where a single room within a larger property is being leased, as opposed to an entire residential unit. It incorporates requirements from the Hong Kong Landlord and Tenant (Consolidation) Ordinance and other relevant local legislation, while addressing practical aspects such as shared facilities, house rules, and utility arrangements. The agreement is particularly relevant in Hong Kong's compact urban environment where room rentals are common, especially in shared apartments, student housing, and multi-room residential units. It provides clear guidelines on rights and responsibilities, helping prevent disputes and ensuring both parties understand their obligations under Hong Kong law.
