I wouldn't rent out to strangers. You have to know someone who is looking for a cheap place to live who you can trust at least a little bit, as opposed toa stranger.

I agree! OP should not rent to a stranger! You're taking a big chance even if you think you know the person. (There's no getting to know a person like living with them.)

Who is that lady next to Kenny when he says his wife left him (and took a chihuahua)??

HEY! Where's part 2?

Yeah the plaintiff is familiar. I also agree do not rent a room in your house. That's why I never want to be a landlord. I have heard many horror stories from co-workers who rented out Apts. in their homes.

I'm just trying to find someone to help us find people because ads on Craigslist are not cutting it.
Does the place where you work have a company lunchroom where you can post a notice on a bulletin board? We had that where I used to work, and every once in a while someone would find someone to rent a room like that. This way you at least know the person through a coworker.

It was a close one. I would have ruled in your favor after seeing the facebook evidence. Although you could have collected much better evidence than a picture with your phone's camera!

Ronnie's mannerisms were screaming LIAR. Sucks bro. Next time I would really investigate the person before opening up your home to them. This guy seems like a career criminal.

ps- Are the cops still sitting on the case?

Dude! the OP wasn't asking for anyone's opinion on whether or not he should rent a room out to a stranger. All he wanted was a recommendation on how to get the room rented. How many of you out there, that are so quick to jump with their know-it-all attitudes have just been laid off like the OP's cousin? It is very easy to say how much of a bad idea it is to rent out a room to a stranger when you are not having financial troubles, right?
