I’m currently looking to rent a basement apartment. I like the place, but I hadn’t considered how soundproofed the walls were. I doubt there is much insulation because it is a house. However, I appreciate your post and will check with the owner to talk about how much sound carries.

Remember, even if they do not have access to your own personal space, they will know when you are there, and when you are not.

One bad renter, and you could lose a lot.  And remember, Fair Housing laws still apply to a roommate situation,

Eric and I have been thinking about buying a place in the suburbs, so we have a little more space (and some space to rent out). We don’t know a lot about building codes and all that and want to make sure the space we rent out is safe and legal. There are a lot of things to think about, but like you said, if you have a really solid lease you can protect yourself and your tenants.
