Anyone here ever rent a house from a friend?
A friend of mine is moving to Florida soon and has asked if I would like to rent her house for a year or so until she's ready to sell it. I like the house; if it was available through a property management company for the same price she's offering me, I'd jump at the chance to get it. However, there is no third-party involved.
I'm concerned because of the thought of having to deal directly with a friend if something should go wrong with the house and need repairing/replacing. Seems like it has some potential for problems.
So, any of youse hillbillies been in this situation? Any advice?
TIA! :texan:
