[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Legally, you can't do this. But, lots of people do. Whatever you do, please make sure the space is safe for tenants. Make sure there is a working smoke/carbon monoxide detector. Make sure there is an adequate egress from the bedroom (no bars, big enough and low enough that someone can get out in an emergency.[/quote] I’m actually trying to figure out if there’s any way I could do it legally (or even gray area). I don’t quite understand how I could take on a roommate legally (I assume?) but not a roommate who lives in the basement? The unit is connected/actually in my house, it’s not like a only separately entrances/separately metered property. The space is perfectly safe in all the ways you describe — actually two ways out plus up to my house. Right now my family lives in it![/quote]
