Your place is large enough to have 6 people in it. Would you rather have the amount of wear and tear that 2 adults and 4 children under age 10 would provide ? How about a single mother with 5 kids ? Check your state laws. Many have laws that there can be no more than 4-5 unrelated people in 1 unit.If all 3 parties are MARRIED, then you have 3 unrelated parties right there. And if 2 of the parties are not MARRIED, then you 5 unrelated parties. Do you follow me? And, yes, if they bring more than 2 cars with them , the rest will have to park on the street. One way to discurage them from renting the place , is to ask 1 full months rent as the deposit----FROM EACH PARTY. And the last party out, gets the whole deposit back, LESS any damages and unpaid rent. Also tell them to designate ONE person to pay the FULL rent each month------You are not going to try to collect 1/3 of the rent from each of them, but ALL their names will be on any eviction notices you need to give out.
