House Hacking With Disrespectful Tenants

[Jonathan Baptiste]

Hi all, 

I am a 27 years old and bought my first property in October. I decided to house hack and filled my rooms very quickly. I was not expecting to be best friends with my roommates but I was hoping that we would be able to communicate like adults and I would get the respect I deserve as a roommate and landlord. Unfortunately that is not the case. Things are not being clean, minor request are being met with attitude, and little gratitude is being done for what I offer for free (buying furnishing, kitchenware, cleaning supplies). There are also some small lease violations that I have overlooks over the weeks. 

I am introverted person and very kind to everyone around me. I have never once raised my voice to anyone in my home and done anything rude on purpose. But I am not being met with the same behavior. Not only that, I allow things I am not completely comfortable with in order to make my tenants happy (smoking near the house, having pets, etc).  It just very disheartening to be treated this way in my own home. But I am hesitant to play the "I own the home" card because I feel that would be an unfair thing to hang over someone's head (also my father would do that a lot and it would make me upset). 

Any thoughts on how to handle this situation?

THANKS
