Renting a room out in your home.

If you are thinking about renting a room in your home? You need to know the pros and cons. And protect yourself. A Good background and credit check. Durable and easy to replace interiors. A move in, move out form. And a good lease that covers everything from the right to enter. To over night guests and excessive utility usage.

[@jenniferdonnelly6993]

You are so right. Conversely, you briefly warned against renting to older adults because they often (in my experience) bring a pretty shady criminal, Financial, and domestic history with them. A 60 yr old who needs to rent a bedroom in my home for $450 a month, has obviously not made terrific practical decisions throughout their life. I get a lot of abused women with sob stories and bitter alcoholic men applying to rent from me. Please make another video and discuss your experience with that end of the landlord spectrum? I really enjoyed your candor. Thanks!

Many homeowners who rent rooms often violate privacy. I live in Dallas, TX and I have rented rooms from various homeowners. I have had homeowners go through my luggage to look at my pictures, walk into my room when I was at work to later question me about locks I had on certain belongings of mine (to keep them from prying) and I even had a homeowner take a razor blade and cut a side of my luggage to give them access inside. Homeowners can be very awful. They will often watch you to view your purchases and if they think you can afford to pay more rent a few months after moving in they will increase the rent. I had one greedy homeowner change the password on the wifi (the room was advertised as having wifi) after I had lived with her a few months and when I questioned her why I couldn't access it she started giving me this trip about her having to pay it. Homeowners will advertise a room as having a 'private restroom' and a few months after I move in and start paying good (I'm never late) I look up and there's another tenant and another one and now the restroom is no longer private. It's shared. Some homeowners are good people (just nosey and suspicious minded) while others are more malevolent. It's not always the tenant..

No flammable substances or open flame allow on the property. When asking for deposit watch their reaction song. Take pictures of the room and get copies. Have them sign the copies before they move in to the room, make sure every thing is on the on and up. I had my first home at 26 to rebuild. Kids raise on fake TV. Get it done before they sign.

Excellent video. It would be great to know how you go about selecting someone. Screening them, or otherwise questioning prospective tenants to see if they would be a fit for you or not!

[@ScottRiddleArtist]

In general I tell people if they don't make sense on paper they don't make sense at all. Every time I've given someone a chance who was suspicious on paper or showed that they had poor credit or work under employed. It turned out to be a disaster. They always abandon the property destroyed things or worse. I would have to go through the cost and stress of the evection process. I allow people to run their own credit report through one of the free sites but they have to give me the complete report. I also check with prior landlord's about what type of tenant they were. And always check their employment. I've also been known to stock them on Facebook or any other public media. As often we reveal our true selves especially the younger generation via these avenues. LOL! I hope that that was helpful.

[@yellowbird5411]

Landlords don't often tell the truth about the tenant who hasn't moved yet, as they may want them out very badly, and will lie about how good they are. Same with references, especially from their own family members. Friends often will give good references because they have no morals either. History is the predictor of the future, I find, with tenants. If they have bad credit, there is a reason, or frequent job changes, or moving every year, etc. And make sure their references are who they say they are, and not friends who are acting like they are someone else. The list goes on......

[@ScottRiddleArtist]

great suggestions. But here is the flip side. I don't rent rooms to Sr Citizens. They lay around the house all day watching TV, they don't clean up because they are too old to get down on their hands and knees and clean, they will spend endless time in the kitchen cooking and they have zero motivation to do anything. I always do a month to month tenancy and get a security deposit up front.

[@kyjelly5524]

I’ve rented out rooms to people before and had issues with one of them. It was like a 45 min talk when I have him notice. He was telling me how it’s ok for him to pay all the bills late because I wasn’t struggling financially lol. I’ve also had great roommates that are cool, quiet and clean. Renting to someone in the military is a good idea. They have the steady income and they are generally responsible and clean.

[@superflylady75]

So true. My wife and I couldn't rent out a room in our home anymore because people don't care. Our last tenant washed clothes everyday sometimes just one shirt a shirt a day. Never cleaned the bathroom in the 7 months he lived here but swore he was just spotless, and this guy was late 50s. We gave him a 2 week notice, and he left pizza box on the bed, trash in the room, nasty bathroom, and stole all our bath towels. We had some who used our house as a hotel, with random girls coming in and out. Another guy lied about having a job and never paid the rent on time. Another guy ate our food. Wanting the air on 60. But yeah why should they care, because they aremt paying the light bill, spilling dip on the mattress, I could go on and on. That 600 a month, isn't worth our sanity. No more renting for us.

[@yellowbird5411]

I enjoyed your video (except for the potty mouth) and being a landlord myself for about 20 years, I heartily agree on your advice. Unfortunately, even knowledgeable landlords (that would be me) get taken in by promises, and a good appearance for the interview. My main problems have hit on all your points, and it has been very, very expensive. Thirty day leases don't buy the landlord anything, however, because the tenant will stay until they are evicted by the courts. They know "their" rights, as all their friends are constantly telling them to stay until the sheriff comes, which usually buys them two months of free rent, because they were already behind by the time the eviction started. Two months of free rent can be $1,800-$2,500 or more for two months. That is like a job, but you don't have to leave home to get it. Meanwhile, they save for their next "robbery" and give some excuse as to why their last landlord cannot be reached ("Oh, he's got Alzheimers and doesn't remember me now"). New tenants can turn on the charm, and play you a tune about how they LOVE to clean, LOVE to plant flowers in the yard, and ALWAYS take care of their bills because they will work 80 hours a week if they have to. I am promising myself to interview someone three times before deciding. Usually by the second time they are already out of being super pleasant if they are not a good tenant. And, get first, last AND security. Thanks for the video.

Mike K We’re living in such strange financial times. You’d be surprised who is looking for a room to rent. We finally found a physical therapist in his late 30s. We also found a young police officer to rent that space finally someone quality. The trick is to put mature in the ad so they know they’ll be living with an older person and set your terms. When renting a home inside your home the rules are completely different than renting an exterior space. You have a lot more power. So take your time and be picky. You can also give them a month to month that way either of you can get out of the lease quickly if you noticed in the first few months it’s not working out.

[@scoobydog411]

People at any age can destroy your beautiful house. I don't think they are stupid they are lazy and just don't care. I feel that you must keep a eye on them. Keep in mind your house is a investment to you. The renter could care less, remind them that you are saving them a fortune.

Ekenna Hutchinson If you’re going to share your space first you have to know that you can get along with the person and you have a clear understanding of House rules and the daily functions of the house. I think it’s safe to do a month-to-month lease initially. That way if you don’t get along everyone can let go easily. If you’re going to be sharing personal spaces deciding in the beginning how and who cleans what is important. People have different levels of what they think is clean and this can be a big problem straight off the bat.Another big one is guests. For relations and friends. And how you navigate when ,how many and how long. It really depends on how much you like the person and how social you are. We’ve had roommates that turned into great friends that we shared meals with and entertainment. And we had roommates that we were just passing ships in the night.

GOOD LORD if you say all these things out loud in some countries, you'd be called a villain and an "evil landlord". In many parts of the world, landlords are considered to the worst of all evil & there's nothing you can say or do that won't be considered in the wrong. If you have an inventory list & charge to their deposit like you describe, they'll just take revenge actions against you. I know a landlady who recently got banned from advertising her room online because a disgruntled ex-lodger reported her to various random authorities with some made up stories. They didn't even contact the landlady to verify anything with her- the room advertising website(s) simply issued an immediate ban on the landlady. It took her several months to get herself "unbanned", but by that point the damage was already done as her rooms had been empty for months, losing her rent & costing her money. Just google search and you'll notice there's loads of protection and advice bodies for tenants/lodgers but absolutely nothing to protect or advise landlords. Likewise, you can take photos of damage but if a lodger says "it wasn't me" or "it was already like that" there's very little you can do because authorities tend to take their word against yours, even if it's on the inventory or there's a before & after photo.

[@ScottRiddleArtist]

rollerblading geek A move in move out checklist is essential. This protects both parties. Renting a room in your home . Has very different laws than an actual apartment. I have a very good lease. Which took me years to perfect . And like real estate laws and contracts . The lease seems to get some new kind of addendum every year. I just had a tenant move out. Not only did he trash the place. He left all of his garbage and furniture behind for me to deal with. I’m adding it all up. And going after him for the additional costs in court . This was one of those people I gave a chance before I got wise to the human animal. People in general never cease to shock me.

Iv done it many times and its ended up dripping down my wall and also it's necessarily not young people it's not old people it's not dumb people its people! Its called wear and tear! people don't mean to break things but they're your things so of course you're going to be more sensitive about it and it's not theyre things so of course they care less bout your stuff. but I doubt they had intentions to ruin anything or they were even being dumb about it things happen. and letting them use your furniture you have to accept that shit's going to happen and they're not going to pay for it because they're looking out for them and what's best for them n u can't blame them. And honestly I never went to kids but I've had multiple different guys who are 40 to 50 in that room and they still have no respect they have left cereal beer rotten eggs all over my floor and I have a check out list what are you talking about because 9 out of 10 of the people living here have moved out with no notice and snuck out when I was at work so a checklist are you kidding me know so I can happen and in my purse I don't have a luxury screening people it pretty much comes down to the wire of who has the money to move in because I have to pay rent and I generally can't pay it without somebody helping me. Aww the joys of living in so cal on the beach with a huge yard and garage fireplace for the crazy low amount of 1500. ..... theres no way in hell i am giving up this pad just cause u cant sfford ut. So ill do what i can. Put locks on my doors and tru my best to screen em ans get references and habe them sign a list of rrules so they promise to obey them and also agree to mimimal weejly chores etc. This also states theyr permissions and expectations when they plan on moving out and getting back the deposit. But watching ur video kinda seems u hav too high of expectations of these stranger's . U EXPECT low so u wont be disappointed. And dont take it personal.

When they were out of their parents Eye? The party was on. LOL! And they were not legal age yet. They were poor at communicating.and stupidly destructive . Because they've never paid for utilities or insurance or anything like that? They would have to constantly be reminded not to keep their heat full blast when they were at home. And to shut the lights off and things. It's like they lacked all commonsense? So I apologize if my video seems unfair. But as a landlord this is been a constant reoccurring problem. But a good point was pointed out above. It's not only young people. The credit score and rental history are very important indicators of a person's character. And cyclical behavior.

ZODIAC In real estate you always have the responsibility of something called due diligence. Which means ultimately it’s your responsibility to make sure if you are subletting, renting or buying that everything is legal and in order. I failed to see the relevance of the persons color in your story? Don’t be fooled. Racism is racism.

I rent 6 rooms and one of my renters got mad at me when I kicked him out and went to city hall too. Nothing happened to me.I am still renting 6 rooms. 20 years later. Making a lot of money.

My advice is to not wear that stupid hat. Also, folks - Don't trust anyone who you can't see their upper teeth.
