Gas and oil - roomers

[Dustin Reynolds]

Hello,

It might not be surprise that eastern Ohio has an abundance of traveling gas and oil workers.  I recently purchased a duplex and it’s taken me almost 3 months to rehab it.  In the process I’ve managed to get the attention of 3 (Possibly 4) construction workers.  

I’ve talked to one person who has done this before... I guess I’m looking for some guidance on the lease.  Assuming I’ll end up speaking to an attorney.

Here are my thoughts and what I’ve done:

- I’d like to cover the utilities up to the the last 12 month average (tenants have verbally agreed to this) $465 per tenant it was originally $450, parking is going to be an issue, so I worked a deal out with business near by to use his parking lot for a small fee.

- charge per bed and per person

- I furnished the apartment 

- this is all for the downstairs apartment
- I should probably see an attorney for a parking lease, the land owner is concerned he will be liable if there are ever any damages to one of my tenants cars.

- Do other landlords provide cable/internet too?  It’s not a utility....soo....?

- three separate leases or one with all the names?

Thank you for your time, I look forward to some guidance. 

I’m also considering selling it if anyone want to invest in the gas and oil.  As of right now I’m at $1,995 per month
