Room rental questions

[Robin Evans]

Hello everyone! We're looking to rent out our property on a room-by-room basis to travel nurses or co-op students. The master bedroom, complete with its own bath, is available for $850, while Bedroom 2, with a detached private bathroom, is priced at $800. Renting the entire property comes at a flat rate of $1500.

We've received interest from a female nurse specifically for the master bedroom, but she prefers not to share the space with a male tenant. While we're uncertain if we'll find another female tenant for the same timeframe, we're considering our options for the best course of action.

Should we rent the master bedroom to her in hopes of securing another female tenant for the same period? Or should we accept the potential loss on the second room if it remains unrented? Thank you for your input!

We have done some by the room rentals. All of our spaces are co-ed. But we also allow our current housemates to interview potential new ones and give us their opinion. We still make the final decision. We have not had any gender-based conflicts. Thus, if we were in your shoes, we would offer the space to the candidate, but share that the house is going to be co-ed. She would then have to choose if she wants the space or not. Best wishes.
