Your article is very interesting, particularly the first option you describe: renting exclusively bedrooms.

Generally speaking, renting exclusively bedrooms gives the landlord much more power of negotiation.

For example, the landlord can freely determine the length of the rent: 1 month, 1 day or whatsoever. The landlord is under no obligation to renew or extend the length of the rent if he does not want to do so.

Basically, in the case of renting exclusively bedrooms the rights and obligations of both the landlord and the tenant are freely determined by the parties.

In order to avoid conflicts the landlord and the tenant should sign a written contract specifying, amongst other things:

- Which is the price of the rent? Are there any other costs (e.g. electricity, )?;
- How much is the deposit?
- What is the duration of the rent? Which are the requirements and the procedure of an earlier termination of the rent?
- Does the landlord prohibit the sublease of the bedroom?
- Which are the rules regarding how to share the kitchen and/or the bathroom (timetable, cleaning)?
- Are there any rules regarding noises, pets, visitors of the tenant (are they allowed in?)?
- Which is the inventory of the bedroom?

If 10 or more readers wish I can check for a sample rent contract (exclusively renting bedrooms) and ask Mr. Talavera to hang it on his news site.

Thanks for your time,
