Attracting Roommates Who are Okay with Not Having Alcohol

Jaheen Ahsan
Posted

Hello,

So I bought my first house hack back in July, and I've been trying to find roommates for about 6 months or so and haven't quite had any luck. I suspect part of the reason might be because I have a no-alcohol policy for my property, which I understand might draw a lot of people away to some extent. For context, I have that policy due to my own religious restrictions as I'm not allowed to have any alcohol at my place of residence. I was wondering if anyone had ideas on how I might be able to attract more tenants who are okay with having this type of policy as I know it might be a bit of a niche market, but I'd love to hear any suggestions. So far, I've used Facebook Marketplace, Zillow, Roomies, Craigslist, and Roomster, and I was able to get some level of interest initially, but haven't had a ton of luck since then, so I'd love to hear some ideas.

Is there no one else of your religion in the area looking for housing?

Contact local AA or Alcohol rehab centers?
