Looking to rent by the room in a 3 bedroom 2 bath single family home

I have a single family home (1 bedroom with attached bath, 2 rooms + 1 common bath) which I want to rent out in Camp Hill, PA.

What portals can i try besides www.furnishedfinder.com?

What term is ideal for a medium term rental?

Anyone has experience managing a medium term rental? Could you share your experiences (good & bad) about managing tenants, rents, etc?

Feel free to DM me or post in this forum.

@Srinath Gopinathan Besides Furnished Finder, I would also list it on Zillow, Apartments.com and Facebook Marketplace. In my experience, 3–6 month leases tend to work well for medium term rentals. Just be sure to thoroughly screen tenants, use a solid lease agreement and clearly define utilities, furnishings and house rules upfront to avoid misunderstandings.

    Most common definition of MTR is 30+ days.

    Industry refers to them as "Guests" not tenants, as they have higher expectations than tenants and typically are not responsible for utilities, landscaping, etc.

    In addition to websites already suggested, try Airbnb & VRBO with minimum 30 day stays.

    How are setting up the property for RBR Guests?

    Thanks for the response. The idea is to rent by the room.

    Do you have any sample mid term rental leases specific to “by the room”

    For that layout, I would make a separate photo set for each room and show exactly which bathroom goes with it. The attached bath and the shared bath are two different offers, and people should understand that before they inquire.

    The shared spaces need a plan too: assigned fridge and pantry space, laundry access, where each person keeps toiletries, and who cleans the common bathroom. Those small day-to-day details are likely to create more messages than the furniture itself. Has the home started taking room bookings yet?
