Would you rent a house to 2 new university grads?

Paul Z.
Posted

Hi everyone.

I have a townhouse which I prefer to rent to families. However, 2 recent university grads (both female) want to rent it together. Would you rent it to them? Some potential problems in my opinion:

- 2 tenants on the lease which complicates the agreement

- May have overnight guests whom I would not want to stay

- May sub-lease the extra bedroom to people who I do not approve of

- If only one moves out, I cannot rent the whole house to a family. Finding individual tenants to fill each bedroom seems like a lot of work

- May have parties

What do you think?

Cheers,

Paul
