4-bedroom rented to four single parties?

[Heather Schmidtknecht]

I have a 4-bedroom, 1-bath (downstairs unit in a duplex) that I am currently advertising for new tenants. Usually if have a group of four roommates or a family… but on this round of advertising, I have had several individuals inquiring about just renting one of the rooms, and seemingly not caring about who else is living there.

On first thought, it seems there would be a lot of drama with no agreed upon set of rules between the roommates in this sort of situation? On second thought, I might be able to get significantly more total rent in a situation like this.

Anyone have experience yo shed light on pros/cons or anything else I need yo think about?
