Renting out rooms (house hack) what kind of contract?
If I were to rent out 2 of the 3 bedrooms I have in a place I own, how would I cover myself (legally) with a contract. Do I draft up a sub-lease and have them have a security deposit and what not just like any other rentals? I feel like there is a way to do this right, not just a verbal agreement but something that is legally binding where you can evict them if you run into issues- but it is a grey area since they'll be renting out a "room" and not the whole house. I'm essentially looking to house hack.
