Overnight guest policy when renting out rooms in my home? (house
Hey guys, was just wondering what kind of overnight guest policy others may have when it comes to renting out rooms in your home? I currently rent out 2 rooms in my house. One long term tenant moved out, so now I'm looking to rent out that room to traveling nurses. The other room is occupied by a long term tenant. Her mom has come to stay for a week from out of town, and that went really well. Her mom is super nice and helpful and was great to have around. She's also had a guy stay over a couple nights this last week, after checking w/me. It was fine. She already wants to have him stay over more. I get the feeling she would have him stay over almost all the time if I was ok w/it. I want to make sure I'm being fair all around. I don't want to impose on her personal life, of course. But also, having someone stay overnight repeatedly who is not a tenant feels kind of weird. Trying to find the right balance. And also want to be considerate to the traveling nurses who will rent out the 2nd room. They have a shared bathroom and hallway on that side of the house. Is there a certain number of nights per week or nights per month you guys go with, as far as overnight guests for people renting rooms in your home?
