@Elliot Smith  If you simply don't want a bunch of strangers walking through your house at random times of the day (personally, I don't either) but would sell for $X if offered, you may actually want to go ahead and list the property for sale, but specify that internal showings will be allowed only after reaching mutual acceptance.

I would of course introduce her to my sons so she would not have complete strangers using the laundry facilities, but she is a young lady with a young daughter and I always want to lean to the conservative side to protect her privacy.Also part of this equation is that I have never lived under the same roof with a relative stranger so this is all going to be a bit weird to me.

Its also not like some random stranger broke in and vandalized the place.

My fear with 4 separate leases is if/when one person leaves, the others have no incentive to replace him and I couldn't really force them to live with a random stranger that I pick out.Any thoughts?

Are you renting to friends or to complete strangers?

Flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.”The woman turns from her book and replies to the total stranger, “What would you want to talk about?”

Would it be weird staying at a stranger's house with all their personal effects? 

You wouldn't want to wake up and night with a stranger standing in your bedroom door with a hammer in their hand like in the movie "Slingblade."

I don't trust 100% of the people to leave behind anything across strangers that goes in the mouth.

While not always the case, it is still more reliable than asking strangers on Facebook.When I say "licensed", I mean one of the three designations: CPA, EA, attorney.
