is renting a room a crazy idea when you have a one year old?

[Tana13us]

I think I may advertise renting one bedroom at home.but I am not sure if anyone would take it considering I have a one yera old.

is this common?

I would just make Sare u do a back round check and all that good stuff

[rebeccasmly]

I don't know if its common or not but I couldn't do it. I don't trust people enough.

[besosfantasies]

Idk.. it would be an inconvenience to the renter and to you. Probably not a good mix lol.

 we live in a three bedroom apartment & have rented out our "extra" bedroom (the kids share a room) for the last 5 years.  first one of my husband's coworkers stayed with us for almost 4 years then we rented it out to a woman in her early 20's.  both loved the kids & didn't mind them at all.  my husbands friend is the oldest of many & the woman that was renting the room also had younger siblings so they were used to kids.  she moved out recently to live with her sister who is pregnant & who's husband is deployed. 

we're planning on renting it out again once school starts back, my mom is coming down in two weeks & is staying till mid august.  i don't think we'll have a problem renting it out again.  wouldn't imagine you'd have an issue renting out the room.

I thought about that as well but I was too afraid my dd would disrupt he family who is letting us rent the room

 Not sure how common it is but, I would say if you interview them and they are ok with it and pass a backround check then it's all good!

[aneela]

yeah be careful with whom you let into your home

[wandep]

Agreed.

Quoting rebeccasmly:

I would be very careful who you rent to but I have read that this is a new trend, since lots of people are struggling to keep their homes.

I would not let a stranger in my home with my kids
