What sites should I use for

Rental application

Roommate agreement

Background & credit check

I’ve been looking but since I’m renting a room out but I’ve being seeing rental application templates only for whole apartments.

I showed my room to a guy today who wants to rent so I’m trying to figure it all out.

@Tylor Billings

I am occupying it and do plan on renting the 2 extra rooms out . I’ve posted on Craigslist and Facebook. I might have it priced too high for a room. I have it as 700 with utilities included in rent .

I’m soo stressed. Idk I’ve been running ads to rent a room out. The property is in Tucson in a new subdivision area code 85730. A 3 bed 2.5 bathroom . It’s just me and my boyfriend I have 2 empty rooms that I need to rent out. I’m pretty sure there is no good way this will end . I’m only an E-3 in the Air Force smh . I need advice. I want to be a real estate investor but the future is not looking to bright . I thought getting this new townhouse would be good because it’s brand new with less major maintenance cost . And that I could rent all rooms out when I move eventually. 

Any advice on renting out a room with shared bathroom with pocket doors?

@Mitch Messer

I was allowed to inspect the unit before hand and a saw a few dead roaches and they told me they previously sprayed. I didn’t think much of it until I came back at night . I saw roaches every where. Kitchen walls, living room floor corners and walls , and in closets and sinks and around the toilet bowls . I’ll go back tonight and take video since they are most active then. They have that they provide pest sprayings in the lease but this is a infestation. Spraying is a great preventative but it doesn’t solve the problem. There are lots gaps wear the flooring and wall meets and some sagging in flooring . Thank you for your advise I’m hoping they will let me out of it but it doesn’t seem like they will. There is a buyout contract with 60 day notice required

Signed a lease 6/11 . That night I was prepared to move in. I got to the apartment and there were roaches everywhere. I did not move any of my property In fear that it would get damaged I saw possible mice droppings as well. I’m gonna sent a notice of default on lease agreement due to the following:

Arizona Revised Statutes Title 33 property 33-1324 Landlord to maintain fit premise.

A. Landlord shall:

1. Comply with the requirement of applicable building codes materially affecting health and safety as prescribed in section 9-1303.

9-1303. Material affect on health and safety of occupants

(I) infestation of insects, vermin or rodents

I called the day after to try and get out of the contract due to the infestation. They basically said I can’t because of the contract.

My friend lives in the complex in a different build and has only saw like 1 to 2 roaches.

I feel like they knew that there was a pest infestation in they unit and they rented to me anyway . They have a really high buyout contract as well.

Any landlords out there have some advise? I can email pictures for your opinions.
