Collecting rent from multiple tenants in one unit
Hello,
I'm have a 4 bedroom house for rent and several groups have come through to view the property.
3 non-related adults want to move in together.
If I chose them, how should I structure collecting the rent?
I use a software to collect rent for my other properties and have traditional families in them (Father- mom- kids) so I get one payment.
Do I ask the 3 adults to designate one person to pay one payment?
I dont want to get into a situation where 2 people say they paid their portion and the last guy doesn't.
This would leave me with 2 tenants that feel as though they honored their part and I'm out 1/3 of the rent.
I want to keep it simple and have no intent of chasing around anyone.
How should I set it up
Thanks in advance.
Mike
