Renting rooms vs whole house logistics

I have a furnished 3BR 2 BA house in Raleigh NC that I'm renting MTR as a whole house. I'm using Furnished Finders (and Airbnb) but the majority of FF leads are for 1 bedroom vs whole house. I'm considering renting out each bedroom separately but want to get some tips an advise on leases, check-in/out, etc. Any guidance, tips would be greatly appreciated.

Put locks on each bedroom door so individual tenants have security of their personal belongings.

You need a really good set of rules regarding shared common space, cleaning, kitchen use, bathroom use, etc.

Be very clear about the rules up front, and selective about who you put in there. Throwing 2-3 strangers into the same space can be a disaster if you aren't smart about it.
