If you have financial problems, you agree to rent a room in your house...

This can be taken as a solution, however you are still free to have a look to the background of that person and decide if he/she will not give troubles during his/her stay in your house though, this is what counts though. My grandparents have done this in the past and it proved profitable also however as I said you must have a very good background about the person also.

Hi, Ice! It's been a long time! Glad to see you again. I could never allow a stranger to live in my house. I'm just too much of a loner for that, and I think I'd be afraid!

thats a good idea for some but my family doesn't have enough room to begin with. were not that bad off financially either thankfully.

I suppose it might be a considerstion for some but for me....it would be my last. I don't know that I would be comfortable with a stranger sharing my home unless I had an apartment that they could rent. It would be very hard to share my home with a stranger.

When we moved from the city to the rural side due to health reasons, our house in the city had to be empty so to keep it attended, at the same time income-generating, we decided to have people rent the rooms. It is quite common here where I live. But we allow females only, preferably students, and if possible, relatives or recommended by relatives or close friends. We get along just fine when I do some sleepovers to monitor the place. We had to keep checking the cleanliness of the house though because they tend to be quite irresponsible in that area..

never for sharing my kitchen and sense but if i have a room in another floor then yes

to overcome the financial difficulty this may be one way out but have a high risk of something unexpected happens, we recommend that if forced to rent out our house to someone else provided the room divider so that the activities we as home owners are not disturbed

I am going through some really bad financial problems and have also been advised by many friends to take in people to stay in my house as paying-guests.It would be ideal for me to do so as i have 2 spare bedrooms and rent them out to people as i am single and live alone.However i am a very private person and do not like the thought of sharing my living space with complete strangers even though it could help me financially.There is also the risk factor involved as nowadays even innocent looking persons could prove to be completely otherwise, i mean dangerous, as they could be linked to gangsters or even terrorists. It is very difficult to know a persons background and what he does in his private life. One could land in trouble and unneccessary harassment from the police and authorities for no fault of our own. I prefer to slug it out on my own even when my financial position is not good, rather than have sleepless nights wondering about my house guests.

Hi, Renting a room out means you will have a stranger staying under the same roof. It might be one of the solution to earn money ,but before doing it, it is best to have a careful consideration. If you were to rent out the room to someone that you know,then it might be ok..at least that person is not totally a stranger to you. I used to rent a room while I was in my college. I have my own room and the family member treats me well. I have my own privacy and we are just like a family too.

it happened here in our country we also have bed spacers where there more than 2 occupants in the same room and we both share the same toilet, kitchen living room and etc. its not really a big issue here in our country as long as the border agree to the policy you set. if you a female of course you will only accept female borders and must have work nor students to make sure they will not going to take everything inside your house while your not around. you can also go ahead and find a single room to rent cheaper than the one you have. it depends to you actually.

I think there's nothing wrong with that but still we have to make sure that we can secure ourselves and our belongings. Maybe have someone to stay around the house always so he or she can see what the boarders are doing. Also, a set of rules should be given to the boarders so as to also not interfere with your private life. You should also secure your kids and make sure they can still live normally even with other people around the house. Personally, i would probably just ask females to live inside the house and maybe just give them permisson to use their room and the bathroom and let them eat somewhere else.

It is true more and more people are doing that today. I for one would not do that because i value my privacy too much. If you had an area that you could seperate and allow someone to rent a room for example with access to a seperate bath and seperate cooking facilities I would consider it. But to have a total stranger walking around my most sanctified space is simply out of the question. Might as well live in a shelter.

Yes I would agree to rent a room,if it is helping me to overcome from great financial problem but I have to be more careful while taking a decision.Before renting my room to stranger first of all what I do is,I will do study about the behavior of that particular person because nowadays it is very difficult to trust a person.If it in case of stranger that I know then it will be more is for me to rent my room since I know them very well and there may not be much problem.

at least for now my financial problems are not serious that i would need to rent a romm to a stranger. but i can share with you my experiance as the person who rented a room. when i was in university i rented a room at an old ladys apartmen. we did get along but it was anojing how she always wanted to know about everything that i do. i left home i just wanted some freedome. i couldn't bring my boyfriend up, and i don't mean to sleep over, just to talk and not to have to stay outside in the freezing cold. i lived 1 year with her, thats how long i managed to be with her. next year by friend came to college to and we found a place to stay. it was a hudge difference. i hope i won't have to rent ever my room to someone. its really hard thing to do. its hard for both sides. you never know who is that person that mows in with you even its your best friend. in my country we have saying you get to know someone after you mow in with them.

I would if it means helping me to subsidized my mortgage but I have to be selective who I want to let in my house.

Could be but we must be very cautious for letting someone stay in our house because nowadays there are a lot of bad elements roaming around. It's not a bad idea to do thus just make sure you have thought about this thing more and over and over again so we could be in the right way.

hello ice, I am also in a financial problem,and,accepting some boarders or a housemate is one of my option. My daughter had a classmate who is looking for a bedspace,and i am considering the go idea. The problem is,i am not used to have strangers in our house,and so with kids,they are not used with so many people around. There are things to consider too,set aside the stranger issue,coz,i won't go for strangers,i will accept only known person,like my daughter's classmate. There were two of them,and,i can accommodate them. Just a small problem with...we never tried to lived with other people in the house. Or,can those young ladies stands my youngest son's naughtiness? Until now,i haven't made up my mind,but,i am really considering the idea. Just a little precaution and being careful with our choices (the person)

certainly not.. it's not solution for me.. if i have a financial problem, i'll search another solution, hehehe..
