Coronuvirus Has Made it Even Harder to Rent My College House

[Mila Posternak]

I have a 6 bedroom house in the Rutgers Unversity, New Brunswick area and I'm looking for 10 students to sign off for June 2020. I've had ads up on places4students, craigslist, and turbo Tennant since October 2019. But I've had little interest the whole time. This is a single-family home with 4 doubles and 2 singles. This is the time of year when the last students are figuring out their housing situation for the 2020 school cycle. But now with Coronavirus, I don't even know what to do? Should I even bother continuing paying 70 per month on places4students right now to keep my ad up for the students to see? It recently expired on 3/20. In general, I'm getting worried about how I will rent this house with the low amount of interest that I've been getting and with the Coronavirus now. Should I maybe try to rent out to each student separately instead of continuing to look for a group of 10?

They only allow a certain amount of characters on turbotennant. My places 4 students post has a lot more info, but I'm waiting to see if I should reactivate it.

Any help would be appreciated. I recently purchased this house and the last landlord had it rented year after year. We didn't even raise rent this year, but since we posted in October we only had a handful of people come to see the house.
