Does renting a room require a lease agreement?

Hi I'm renting a room and just wondering if I should get a rental agreement signed? I'm paying rent, but it's a sublet through friends of friends.

No. A room renting does not require a lease agreement if it is month to month.

Yes. You should try to get your agreement in writing so as to make sure everyone is on the same page or if it is for more than a month to month term.

IMHO
