House Hack Roomate Issues

Maria Matthew
Posted

Hello everyone, I would love insight on how to handle this situation. I have a house hack that I've transitioned into renting out 5 bedrooms individually (so we've transitioned out of that property and are not living there)

There are issues with two roommates, and would love insight on how to handle them. I also realize I'm the property owner, and I'm not there to parent them, but I do want to make sure they are happy (within reason) and protect my investment

One roommate has a dog and is accusing the other of "disciplining" the dog possibly hitting it (which I doubt but who knows), and bottom line there's just drama. 

I want to know what the healthy line of mediation is, and basically I want to remind them that they're in leases so they have to be adults. Any advice is appreciated!

@Maria Matthew so, this isn't really a "house hacking" issue anymore since you aren't living there.  I mean, you can leave this post here if you like but you will probably get TONS more responses in the "general landlording" forum or the "Manage your own property" forum since both of those are designed for this type of a question.  Just a thought.
