Our house has been more like a hotel at times. Both my sons have had their live in girlfriends there. One was American, stayed four months, paid rent. We also had one of my sons’ friends there, when he was not getting with his parents. Most stayed there for free. The cost of living was much cheaper then.

would really depend on the tenants. whoever owned the house before us apparently did just that. The lady next door has roomies/tenants too. I'm sure it helps with expenses if done right.

Yes, we rent out our converted double garage into a relatives accommodation to a young disabled woman, water, electricity and internet all included, she is very quiet

My sister in law did it and it turned out ok for her.
I would make sure to background check them and get references first.

Well... I only have one bedroom, so my criteria would be very strict.

Examples:

Can not be female
Can not be straight male
Can not be a transphobe
Must be ok with sharing the bed with a transman and a cat
Must enjoy cuddling another man
Must have romantic feelings towards roommate, and he having the same feelings for you



Basically: unless it's someone willong to be my gay boyfriend, I wouldn't "rent it out" for anyone

Keep odors to a minimum in your living quarters. Keep everything photo quality clean neat and not cluttered.Someone will want it, get people to help you ask around. Be as good as it gets with keeping your word and make sure you dont ask too much like most others. Aim for security for yourself more than that easier life you deserve, no snark scouts honor.

We have had relatives stay with us for extended periods at no charge, so renting would not be a huge change for us.

We rented our attic one year to a pair of dental students. It worked wonderfully

I would not let that put you off. Test the market! You will be surprised!

Yeah, as long as they were nice to my cat and maybe smoked me up every once and awhile.

I wouldn't personally.

Where are you and what's the rent?
