Hello, can you please suggest me good web sites to advertise the house for rent?

Craigslist, zillow etc

thank you!

Thank you, Greg. I agree with you, the original rent is only for 2 tenants living there. and I have paragraph allowing guests only up to 7 days, after that they need a written permission from me. in this case a brand new month to month rent makes sense, as they want to move in. So now my renter is asking them if they want to pay the additional $250 , since this is how much I am planning to increase the rent by if I go MONTH TO MONTH. (housing prices went up in the area during this year)

Thank you, Greg!

Hello, another question, the renter was asking once they move out, can he go back to the original lease pricing? I said no, since we had to cancel the current lease to go Month to Month and that once they move out, we will need to reevaluate the pricing based on the current market price and sign a new lease. is that correct? or should I honor the original lease pricing which is till March 10th, once they move out (IF they move out by that day)

thank you!

Thank you, Jacob! 

Greg and Michael, thank you for your suggestion. I will push for that. and will make sure I will add all the adult names as TENANTS in the lease and not just "occupants" - which will be just kids names there. and i will increase the rent by $200 and do month to month till they move out

HI Gail, yes, I am definitely being generous here... I wonder if I can add a paragraph saying if these 4 people want to stay pass 30 days, we will need to reevaluate again...  I dont think from the legal point I can increase the rent $.... as its in a contract, which is till march 1 

Hello, my renter just called me this morning letting me know that their friends (a couple and 2 small kids) are in a hard financial situation, so they need to move in with them (its a 3 bedroom house and currently only 2 adults there - my renter and his girlfriend) for 30-45 days till they get on their feet.

The current lease is expiring on March 1. So it does not make sense to create a new lease contract with these additional 2 people... I want to make sure that these new "occupants" are not criminals and was thinking about doing the following, please let me know your thoughts/suggestions:

1. Require BOTH of these people (husband and wife) to complete their national criminal background check its about $20-25 per person, paid by them. I need to make sure they dont have any felonies and clean... as they will be living in the house...and I dont know them at all...

2. if that checks out, I will modify the lease, but keeping only RENTER name in the lease BUT I can add both of their names and their kids under OCCUPANTS, since only renter is financially responsible for the house and its condition. Plus these 2 people and 2 kids will be there only for 30-45 days.
