[quote=Anonymous]If you price it right (a decent discount vs a normal lease) someone will rent it for 6 months. Short term rentals like that are appealing for families moving to the area who want to rent for a bit while taking their time hunting for a house to buy. Or there are people who come here for a fixed-term work assignment and they want to live in a house instead of a corporate apartment.

Just be extra extra careful that you’re renting to a trustworthy person who has solid finances, a plan and a reason to move out in the agreed timeframe. so you don’t end up with someone overstaying their welcome - DC’s laws are very tenant-friendly.

Might make sense to minimally furnish it, as in bed, couch, dining table, flatware plates cups and a pot and pan. just the basics. Renters (even good ones) tend to ding up the walls when moving big items in and out so that will help.

If you furnish it, don’t put anything in there that you really care about. Even decent renters will sometimes scratch and ding it up, leave cups on your wood table without a coaster, bend a few forks etc.[/quote]
