Hello All,
I need your help. I have someone interested in renting a room, she is 39 a professional with a dog. She will be paying $800 including water and internet. She will also pay half of electricity and half fees to have someone to deep clean the place once per month. She will be working from home, so will I. This is all brand new to me. I'll like to have the extra money but I'm having doubts. She will stay 4 months with a 30 day notice to vacate. I'm worried the dog will pee on the carpet, she said he might and she will clean it up, she also said she will pay to have it professionally cleaned after vacating. I've payed almost $2,300 in repairs so it would be nice to have that money made up. I think about sharing my refrigerator, have someone drink from my milk. I ordered a small refrigerator to put in my room. How do you get past this? I'll like to start house hacking but can't get over the feeling of having someone with me in the house. I make enough, so it's not like I'm struggling. Tell me about your house hacking, renting experiences? how do you get over sharing your space? your utensils, mixer, refrigerator, coffee maker?
