I have a room with its own bathroom in my basement. What is a reasonable rent to charge every month? I live near Brookland metro stop in NE DC.

this isn't nearly enough information for anyone to guess what the rent should be. do you even know if it's legal for you to rent this room out?

$500 - 600 per month? Assuming they have access to kitchen. Because CUA is in Brookland, you could probably find a grad student easily.

Check out Craigslist to see comparables in your neighborhood. If your space has positives (private entrace, full kitchen, parking) or negatives (communal entrance, shared laundry in that person's living area, not a full kitchen) adjust your rate up or down accordingly.

Are you hot, you may be able to charge more to the right person for the eye candy privilege.

I would agree with PP if there is no kitchen in the basement. IF they have their own kitchen, minimum $1k, but $1100 or $1200 totally doable if it's nice enough.
