[quote=Anonymous]OP, just be sure this isn't in your listing. You are free to choose among the prospective tenants who apply--but you can't advertise it as only for younger POC. What you can do is advertise the rental in places where the types of tenants you prefer are likely to see the posting.

You do have some flexibility on gender preference in situations where you're renting out a room in your home, but it sounds like this is a separate basement unit, so that likely wouldn't apply here, or at least wouldn't in my state (but check your local law specifically). If you are in a city with rent control or other rental regulations, you also need to read through those carefully to understand what rights you have or don't have.

I don't think this is a great solution if this is a unit you need open for things like the holidays, though. At best you'd be doing a series of short-term leases, and most renters are looking for longer term situations. If you want to do short-term, I'd just do AirBnB and set your preferred length of stay to a month. (In fact, our city and a growing number of others have regulations against short-term AirBnB rentals, so many people have to do this anyway.) And, as a PP noted, be prepared for it to sit empty some of the time.[/quote]
