You need to be sure that you know what your rights and responsibilities as a landlord are, and you need to know what your tenants rights and responsibilities are as well. Then you need to consult an attorney. You need to make sure you speak to an attorney about what you plan to do. He will let you know about what legal issues may arise, what paperwork you need to make sure is filed. The attorney is the best thing to do and make sure that you enlist the aid of an attorney in getting that, in finding out what you need to know. What you need to realize is that you're becoming a landlord, so you're going to need to have an agreement, be it a lease agreement, or a rental agreement.
