Anyone Ever Rent A Room Out?? Experiences??

[Family Man]

damn breh. gotta give a few details. how long did you stay??

At the time the lady was probably in her late 30's early 40's and broke as fukk. I was living in Queens at the time and the rent for the room (actually it was the attic) was $600 a month.
The house was falling apart. The Haitian food that they used to cook stinked .
They used to invite me to eat with them but I never did.

There was a period of time when there was no electricity so a nikka had to be showering and using the bathroom with a flashlight at nights. There were mice in the attic. You could hear them running about at nights

The lady didn't have a man but she had two teenaged children (boy and girl) and another child that was about 6 years old. She also had her mom living with her.

The lady used to work at nights and be home in the day times. Sometimes when I didn't go to class I'd be in the attic and come downstairs to find her sleeping with her bedroom door slightly open with no draws on

There was only one bathroom in the house and I'd come down from the attic to take a piss only to find her sitting on the toilet pissing with the door open

The teenage son was cool but he was bad as hell and used to always be in arguments with his mom. The teenage daughter was fast as hell.

I stayed there for about six months

Check out the room before saying yes.
I wasn't getting along that great with the homeowner's wife who was a total biotch.
So, I check out this other house that a man owned. He had 4 other renters. The driveway was packed. I would have had to park off street. I enter the home in the living room and it was a bit dark. Smelled a bit dank. Then, I follow him through the kitchen, Creep city, level 100. He had all these cat flea collars on a towel bar. A lot of cats in the living room too. I proceed to follow him to a bedroom which was quite clean. While he's talking and describing the house rules and stuff, he says "... and you can have your girlfriend come over anytime..." It's like I never said I had a girlfriend. I look around and am thinking, is there a peep hole or something. It weirded me out. He weirded me out. He looked weird. He talked weird. I told him I was looking at other places too. It was a lie. I ended up staying at the current house until I could afford an apartment.

yea im def gon have to take a tour and HOPEFULLY get to meet everyone that will be livin there. ima have to make a decision quick cuz i have nowhere to stay. looks like ill be staying in a hotel till i can find a spot

Big soft spoken punk nikka who never leaves his room, he complained about the smell of my danked out room to me today I'm boutta bring a a whole rack of people here today. and a big gay dude who always got bytches over so he's cool with me.

A lot of places will allow you to do a month to month but you just pay a higher rent. See if you can find a studio that does a month to month first. I wouldn't rent a room from strangers...just seems awkward. What if they aren't clean?

The schitzo roomateused to ask my boy if he heard the people yelling last night. They kept him up making a lot of noise. My boy didnt hear it. Eventually this evolved into him hearing people outside talking shyt about him. Like someone in another condo somehwere was laughin n he thought they were talkin about him. He made up a story about calling the apartment manager about the noise and getting into a fight where the police were called and he calmed everything down so he didnt get a disturbing the peace charge..

None of this actually happened. He eventualyl said he didnt feel comfortable living there and bounced.

I'm doing this now until I get a single apt next year. My roommates are cool and quiet. house is clean. rent is 350 including EVERYTHING. I save so much money.

and its month to month. i am just doing it until i find a good roommate for a 2 bedroom or get a single apt. im 24 so im in no rush. and its a good way to network and meet people when you move to a new area.

Any specific questions?

I also did it when I lived in my last state, for my internship. Made great friends with the roommates.

Search for young professionals or grad students in a house share situation. dont get a "room" with a shared kitchen and living room. that sucks and its always creepy old men and shyt.

NO PARTY ANIMALS or OLD MEN.

If you pm me the place youre moving too, I'll even search for some rooms for you. I'm a pro at this now lol

I rented a room out of a house from a homeowner. It was okay. I had a bedroom upstairs. They lived on the main floor. There were two other dudes renting a room out of the basement. It was extra cash for the homeowners.
Quiet neighborhood. Didn't have a TV.

the problem is when u renting a room from some other random dudes, whats the parameters when it comes to bringing broads over? are u allowed to just go in they fridge and whatever? do u gotta help do chores and keep the spot clean? how does it work?

I rented out a room just over a year ago for 8 months when I moved out west for work. It was awful, one guy was an alcoholic and some fat chick that never left her room.

Got my own apartment after that

Like others have said get rooms with professionals and not just random people.
