Sharing Your Condo With Another Family? What You Need To Know

Thinking about sharing your vacation condo with another family? This can be a great way to save money and make sure you’re getting the most out of your condo. If you’re sharing your condo with another family, check out these tips to ensure that the process goes smoothly for both parties. 

– Create a schedule. It can be tempting to leave things as an informal agreement, but this can lead to problems when both of you show up at the condo at the same time. There are plenty of apps and virtual calendar options you can use to keep everyone updated on the schedule. 

– Consider making it official. After you come up with a payment agreement for how you’ll share the costs of the condo, create an official agreement. It can’t hurt to have a lawyer take a look at what you’ve drawn up to alert you to any areas that need attention. After you have a payment agreement, you may want to talk to your lender about getting the other family on the mortgage as well, so you’re not the only one held responsible if they fail to keep up their end of the agreement. 

– Check your insurance policy. Make sure you have a solid insurance policy on your condo that will cover you no matter who is staying there if/ when an issue arises that necessitates the use of insurance.
