I've looked into renting someone else's home for vacations just because the prices are usually good but I've never done it because I think I'd feel awkward using all of their things! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rent-out-your-house#post-211707 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 14:47:38 +0000 chopsuey 211707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I wouldn't! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rent-out-your-house#post-211649 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 13:47:55 +0000 MrsTiz 211649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If the house was empty, sure. If my house was empty, sure. Never in a million years would I let strangers stay in my house for a week with all of my personal belongings. My clothes, family pictures, TV's? Gah that is so so not okay with me. I would never stay in someone elses house like that either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rent-out-your-house#post-211644 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 13:42:52 +0000 autumnlove 211644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Heck no!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rent-out-your-house#post-211629 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 13:24:29 +0000 Mrsbells 211629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope its not for me </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rent-out-your-house#post-211597 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 13:04:50 +0000 LuLu Mom 211597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, too weird having strangers in my home, possibly snooping through my things! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rent-out-your-house#post-211556 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 12:36:55 +0000 Mrs. Cat in the Cradle 211556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Plus, way too many pets. Even though we go out of our way to keep everything clean, it is a turn-off for a lot of people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rent-out-your-house#post-211553 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 12:35:10 +0000 mrsjyw 211553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nah- we're never gone long enough for this to even be feasible. And I just don't like people all up in my spaceeeee :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rent-out-your-house#post-211516 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 12:07:57 +0000 MrsBrewer 211516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: Oh wow, well hey in those 4 years, you could pay down your mortgage even more, and then by the time 2022 comes around, you could still rent it out and then have extra money! :-) Maybe a really nice vacation! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rent-out-your-house#post-211509 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 12:05:15 +0000 Honeybee 211509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: If you google "2022 winter olympics US" there are a bunch of news articles from the last couple days that say the US will not put in a bid for 2022 so they can focus on bidding for 2026, instead. :( So I guess we will not be hosting the Olympics any time soon. Lame.</p> <p>Anyway, we're one of the forerumming areas/regions<br /> (not cities) listed in all the articles. Interestingly enough, we own a condo about an hour away from one of the other cities listed; and my in-laws live only two hours away from another city listed. So we'd be set if the Olympics ended up in any one of those locations! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rent-out-your-house#post-211445 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 11:37:20 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 211445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Where I grew up people do this all the time. They rent their homes out during the Masters golf tournament and go on vacation. People pay big bucks for places to stay during the tournament. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rent-out-your-house#post-211441 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 11:35:50 +0000 MrsBrewer 211441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: Wow! That would be amazing! I would do the same thing if I were you! Where do you live?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rent-out-your-house#post-211435 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 11:30:06 +0000 Foodnerd81 211435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would consider it for a vacation home-- I've rented a vacation home that the people used a lot, but rented out a bunch of the weeks they didn't use it. So, they had stuff there, but not the personal stuff-- that was locked into a separate closet.<br /> For my regular house, not unless it was an extreme situation like @Honeybee: In that case, seems to be well worth the time and cost of moving your personal stuff into storage for a couple of weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rent-out-your-house#post-211404 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 11:06:01 +0000 Honeybee 211404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If the Olympics come to our town (currently one of the bids for 2022), we'll move in with our friends for a few weeks and rent out our place. We could basically make enough in a few weeks to completely pay off our mortgage! Otherwise, no we wouldn't rent out our house for any other occasion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rent-out-your-house#post-211060 Thu, 05 Jul 2012 01:28:51 +0000 Penny Lane 211060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eek, with all our stuff there? No thanks. I'm not sure I'd even be comfortable renting out someone else's house for the weekend, I'd feel too weird about using all their stuff. Totally awkward! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rent-out-your-house#post-211011 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 20:52:58 +0000 prettylizy 211011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, way too weird for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rent-out-your-house#post-211007 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 20:31:36 +0000 PrincessBaby 211007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: This is exactly what I would be worried about! And a million other things....Like breaking my dishes or just not being careful because it's not theirs... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rent-out-your-house#post-211005 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 20:25:28 +0000 mrs. bird 211005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: OMG! That's awful!</p> <p>Nope. I wouldn't want someone going through my stuff. I'm weird about that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rent-out-your-house#post-210968 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 19:27:57 +0000 sslm 210968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I couldn't do it! It would creep me out knowing there were strangers there, possibly going through my stuff! How could you trust people to not take anything? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rent-out-your-house#post-210960 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 19:17:10 +0000 Andrea 210960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We rented our apt once over Xmas to my co-worker's parents since he asked. Never again!! They drank our wine and burned my candles. Really??????? They also left a stain of something (maybe food) on our headboard and the step-mom forgot her thong underwear. Awkward. Yeah, never again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rent-out-your-house#post-210874 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 15:40:26 +0000 Boogs 210874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I couldn't do it, I'd be too worried about people messing up my stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rent-out-your-house#post-210861 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 15:25:24 +0000 PrincessBaby 210861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be completely stressed wondering what shape it's going to be in when we got back. I'm pretty particular about our stuff, and I'd sure like it all to be here or all in one piece after renters for a weekend! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rent-out-your-house#post-210858 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 15:22:05 +0000 heffalump 210858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: we do rent out our townhouse because we upgraded to a bigger home and can't sell yet. Guess I should have been more specific! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rent-out-your-house#post-210857 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 15:20:20 +0000 MamaMoose 210857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't rent out my house short term like that. But if we were in a situation where we had to relocate for work but only for a limited time (let's say a year). I would totally get a renter in that situation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-rent-out-your-house#post-210854 Wed, 04 Jul 2012 15:16:58 +0000 heffalump 210854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're in NY for my sisters wedding and we've rented someone's brownstone for the trip. They're on vacation too and figured it was a good way to make some extra money, and for us its nice because we have the kitchen, it's a good location, and they have two kids so there are toys everywhere. </p> <p>I'm not sure that I'd ever want to rent out my place though. Strange people sleeping on your sheets, sitting on your toilet, using your stuff. </p>
