Default Re: Advice needed - Renting a room in my house

You will need more than a standard lease to rent out a bedroom. In addition to what's already been posted - a few other items to condisder:

01. Access to other parts of the house.
02. Kitchen and bathroom - times/area to use, cleaning, food storage, etc.
03. Entrance to home and times.
04. Amenities: TV's, stereo's, washer/dryer, etc
05. Temp control on A/C - Heat
06. Parking
07. Guests allowed over.
08. Noise - i.e. playing music, tv etc at certain times.

Short list but you get the idea. Never leave it to the "we will work it out" approach - cause it never does. Renting a room can sound like a good idea - but there are things to consider which will disrupt your routine. And as mentioned - once he signs a lease - he has rights.
