I am going to be moving to a 3 bedroom with my son, the rent is a couple hundred more then I wanted to spend but the landlord is my friends dad and its dog friendly (I been wanting a dog forever) and as much as a playroom would be nice I really would like to have a roommate for the 3rd bedroom to save on rent and invest more into the dog (training etc..)
Craigslist...No right?
I posted something on my FB... but at the same time what sane person would wanna move in with a stripper, a 5 year old and a puppy... LOL
My rent will be $1,100 +utilities. I paid the same amount for a shitty 2 bedroom before so its not a bad deal for the area though I would prefer say $900 for a 2BR I really feel safer and at ease with a landlord I know (last landlord screwed me out of security amongst other things)
How would I go about splitting the rent if I found a roommate? I want the tenant to pay 1/3 of the utilities because I feel like my son and his TV and and that it would only be fare... But do I have the tenant pay 1/3 rent because they would have 1 of 3 bedrooms? But they would be a boarder in MY apartment so I should charge more right? Do I have them pay me first an last?
..Also what if I find a couple or a mom and child? Do I charge even more then a single person? How much more?
I was thinking about charging $450/month plus utilities OR $110/Week (save $10 for paying me weekly)
My landlord is going to be very lenient. I wont even have a lease. I've known the family for a while and they seem to be looking forward to having me rent because I am reliable.
So, any advise?
