When I retired, I bought a new house with a detached garage. My plan was to convert the garage to an Auxiliary Dwelling Unit or ADU, sometimes called an In-Law home.  By renting out my ADU I generate consistent post-retirement income as well a tax write-off for related expenses.  I completed construction on the ADU 2 years later (delayed due to COVID) and successfully rented it to a mid-twenties guy who used his new MBA to get an entry-level office job in my area.  He was an excellent tenant but left me in August when he found a better job on the south part of town.  

 
Over the time he was here (unaware of my sugaring) several of my SB's mentioned they would love to get a place similar to my ADU so they could move out on roommates and/or parents.  I price the unit on the high side of the market for a variety of reasons, and when an SB casually asked about the rate, they all said it was too high for them. And they were correct.  

 
Now I already hear your screams telling me NOT to ever consider renting an ADU (or spare room) to a current or past SB! Have no fears, as I will never, ever do that.  

 
But for those of you who may not see the potential problems, or who may actually think there are advantages, let me explain why this is a terrible idea.  (Note that I differentiate this case from those SD's who agree to pay an SB's rent somewhere other than his home, or who agree to rent a separate place and let his SB live there. That's a totally different use case and has totally different issues associated with it.)  

 
1. Renting to an SB who by definition cannot manage her finances is a guarantee of missed rent payments, which leads to,  
2. The SB will invariably suggest BCD in lieu of rent, which means that you lose rental income, and risk her developing some undeserved sense of entitlement.  
3. If she continues to miss rent payments, or is a bad tenant for other reasons, think about how hard it would be to evict her if necessary. Are you prepared to testify at a state Housing Commission hearing about your arrangement with her?  
4. If she literally lives within sight of your front or back door, how do you expect to bring other SB's home (assuming you will use your home for BCD)?  
5. If you literally live within sight of her front door, how will she expect to bring home other SD's?  
6. There is a high likelihood that she will be frequently knocking on your door for cash or other requests. This is the exact opposite behavior you want from a rental tenant.  

 
There are other reasons, but you get the idea...  

 
What have I done when an SB starts to ask or suggest that she could rent the ADU? I kill that idea asap. Usually, I just say she will need to apply with my Real Estate agent, like all others, and I don't think she will qualify. If needed I can also remind her of my no pets, smoking, vaping, etc., policies. Finally, if she still pushes, I ask if she can afford the rent. The answer is always no.  

 

Have any of you ever considered renting a spare room or ADU to a SB? Why? How did it work out?

You only scratched the surface of problems.  Having an SB permanently that close to home is a bad idea.  Even a girlfriend.  I'm not sure I would rent to just a friend.  

And I have provided apartments for SBs in the past   but they were strategically far from me.

I have a couple of rentals that are modestly priced and could perhaps be affordable by a SB.  I have occasionally been tempted to rent to a SB, esp when thinking with the little head.  Fortunately, the big head takes over and says No Effing Way! for all your reasons and more!  

Renting to an SB would be an exercise in poor judgement. Better to instead rent the unit to to a qualified renter who has been vetted and shows a responsible history of paying their rent on time. Then take a portion of the rental money from the qualified rental and put that toward sugaring. Then you have your ass covered. If the SB fucks up you get rid of the SB. If the renter fucks up you have legal cause for eviction and have at least some chance at recovery. To combine them is to invite certain disaster.    

Set it up as a rent-free fuck house.  Outfit it with 3-4 beds/couches and recruit an equal number of Asian girls that you have the hots for.  

Solves all your problems with regards to coming and goings (mostly cummings lol) and everybody is happy.

I have commercial rentals still, but over the years sold off all of my home rentals for price appreciation and to get rid of headaches. I still have one that is connected to a commercial property. It would be a great spot for a SB or escort. I have thought about renting it to one of the above. One of my friends told me if I do " you will never get her out of the place " .
Good advice and I am following it .      

If you’re not going to be exclusive to each other… the girl could bring her own fuck buddies over who may cause problems. They could be other SDs or lowlife boyfriends who get drunk and yell “Stella” all night 😖

I like the way you are thinking, EG, but no.  LOL

 
Considering the location turnover rate of AAMP's (Asian Apartment Massage Parlors) in the greater Los Angeles area, which are essentially what you are suggesting, I'd probably be facing felony pimp charges before my next property tax payment.  

 
Still... 3-4 Asian girls.... Oh well.

You are just a landlord that is just as shocked as the prosecutor what your tenants were doing.

Just don't tell them you were there making repairs on the property 3 times a day!
