Rent by the room - not much interest!

[Kate B.]

I am renting by the room and having a very hard time getting interest to fill 2 empty rooms. I dropped the room price significantly and its lower than what the current tenants are paying. Utilities are included, dogs welcome.  I even removed the min qualifications from the listing just to get interest.  I have a friend renting by the room in the same area for $100 more per room and had a few people review my ad and tell me its good.  Is anyone else having issues filling right now, is it time of year, pandemic, what could it be?
