How to rent your house out - without the hassle of guests staying overnight. Airbnb may still be the home rental site of choice, but the growing demand for cheap office space is being met by new websites which allow users to let their spare rooms out - just for the day
Airbnb may have spearheaded the sharing economy boom, but even putting horror stories of swinging parties aside, there are many reasons people may be put off becoming hosts - from having to relinquish the spare room’s use as an offshoot of the airing cupboard, to the faff of changing the sheets after each guest.
Good to know, then, that a new trend is growing which doesn’t require the hassle of putting anybody up overnight, yet can still garner you some cash from your spare square inches: the era of the home-office rental is upon us.
Websites such as Spacehop, which launched this month, are capitalising on growing demand for thrifty, interesting, co-working office spaces from young entrepreneurs and start-up owners. Anyone with a spacious room that stands empty during the day can now sign up to rent it out to anyone wanting to get down to business, free from the distractions of their own home.
Anyone with an unused space during the day could use Spacehop to make some spare cash while at work.
Hosts then get their house back to themselves at the end of the day - free from the demands of overnight guests, or the dangers of bumping into strangers in pyjamas on the stairs.
Whether it’s renting out your suburban sitting room to a Reiki therapist or your drive to a commuter in need of cheap parking, it seems there’s a company with a unique way of making your home work for you, while you’re at work.
"Jayna tries to be home to welcome her guests... but after showing them where to find the tea, she leaves them to get on with it"
Vrumi - which launched last year and styles itself as the “original disrupter of the workspace industry” - has a desk on offer in Leicester Square for as little as £20 a day, for example, while a barge in King’s Cross costs a mere £15; a bargain, given London office rental prices are some of the highest in the world.
Spacehop, meanwhile was founded by Matthew Beatty, a qualified doctor from Northern Ireland who put his medical career after spotting a gap in the market.
Jayna Cavendish, 27, first heard about the site when co-founder Luke Eastwood spotted her property on Airbnb and asked if she’d be interested in trying it out as a home-office rental. That was two months ago, now her East London studio is full of self-styled “hoppers” who pay £16.50 per person to use it between 9.30am-6pm.
“The beauty of it is there can be other hoppers there, so when you take breaks you can meet new people who might be able to help you out in the future."
Nick Martland
For that fee, renters get to use three main rooms – a living room which Jayna encourages people to make calls in to keep the main space quiet, a large and airy studio space with wifi and a garden for people to smoke and relax in. (Different groups of “spacehoppers” can arrive in one day, so it creates an ideal space to meet people in.)
Jayna tries to be home to welcome her guests - “I think meeting people in person encourages guests to respect the place more” - but after showing them where to find the tea, she leaves them to get on with it.
Nick Martland, 24, is a keen spacehopper who has used Jayna’s place to run his entertainment company, The Other Guys. “I often book a day midweek, to get through some work calls and emails,” he says. “The beauty of it is there can be other hoppers there, so when you take breaks you can meet new people who might be able to help you out in the future. So it’s a good way of networking as well.”
Anna Hamill, 55, meanwhile, doesn’t even need to open the front door to her house in Twickenham - just a 10 minute walk from the stadium - in order to make money. She netted £1400 last year by renting out two spaces on her driveway, and one on her mother’s, next door, through JustPark during the Rugby World Cup and Six Nations Championship.
She charges £15 a stay (from which the site takes a variable percentage as commission). “It’s all done through the website – we just get a text message and an email to say someone has booked your space.”
Anna used the extra income to take her mum on a few weekends away, but it’s not just the money she enjoys. “I try to go and greet people if they’re parking with us, which is quite fun. During the World Cup you’d get people from different nations parking their cars, so I bought a pack of flags and flew them for every team that was playing.”
There’s only one catch: unlike an Airbnb rental, there is no “rent-a-room” relief, so hosts currently have to pay tax on every penny they generate.

ips for Renting Out Your Home Many people mull over the idea of renting out their homes. They may want the benefit of extra income to save money or pay down bills, or they may choose this method as a way to wait things out until the economy improves.
Tips for Renting Out Your Home Many people mull over the idea of renting out their homes. They may want the benefit of extra income to save money or pay down bills, or they may choose this method as a way to wait things out until the economy improves. The motives are plentiful, but it's possible for this plan to become more trouble than it's worth when appropriate considerations aren't made. Here are five steps that will get you going in the right direction. (Read Becoming A Landlord: More Trouble Than It's Worth for reasons why you may not want to rent.)
Understand The Responsibility Involved
First, you must determine whether being a landlord is an obligation you can even handle. The benefits of renting are numerous, such as the ability to deter the vandalism that often plagues an empty home, the ease of tax breaks and the ability to generate income that covers the bills and possibly even creates a profit.
However, being a landlord is also one more responsibility you'll need to fit into your life, and it's safe to assume that things will sometimes fail to run smoothly. You'll need to stay on top repairs and maintenance, collect rent, dole out more for your home insurance policy and try to avoid creating a less appealing home for potential buyers by keeping an eye on your tenant's housekeeping skills.
Prepare Your Home
In a down market, you won't be able to get away with renting out the home as is. Tenants are more attentive and choosy in a down market because of the increased availability rental homes, and their expectations are much higher.
Prepare for the new tenant by thoroughly cleaning your home and making sure any appliances are working and are in good condition.
If you've decided that you are renting out a room or area within your house, make sure that you can secure that area from the rest of your home.
Once the house has been straightened out, develop a list describing what makes the house appealing. Take note of those commonly desirable features such as a washer and a dryer, air conditioning and garage. Use rental terms to help "sell" the property. According to RentalsOnline.com, words and adjectives that'll help you get a renter include: "granite," "state-of-the-art," "stainless steel appliances," "vaulted ceilings," "maple," "gourmet," and "wood floors." Be sure to use any and all of the terms that apply to your home.
Next, post an advertisement of the home on reputable websites. Posting in local newspapers is also an option. However, most people find listings online.
Also, stay mindful of the time of year during which you plan to rent. Renters generally move in particular seasons. According to a recent study by Renthop.com, during peak seasons you can rent your unit for even more. The summer months, in general (July-September) appear to be the best times to locate a tenant; however, this seasonality can vary from city to city,
Hire Professionals
Renting out your home may seem like a simple task, but it's important to talk with attorneys and other professionals to make sure you are abiding by tax laws and local property rules as a result of the new status.
For instance, the IRS stipulates that all rental income must be reported on your tax return. Sure, you may qualify for tax deductions, but it's important to know which expenses are deductible. Plus, there are limits on how much you can deduct each year, and the amount you are able to deduct may differ with the rental activity reported on your tax return.
An attorney can also help you navigate the landlord-tenant laws, which vary from state-to-state, and help you understand your community's rules governing rental properties. You can also seek help drafting the lease, making sure that it follows local laws. Finally, talking with an attorney can help you determine suitable house rules and emergency contacts. (For more, see The Benefits Of Using A Real Estate Attorney.)
Set A Competitive Price
Set the cost of the rent by learning what other rental properties are going for in your neighborhood and community. Remember, potential tenants will be scouting around for deals, so set the rent at a competitive price and make sure you highlight all the most valuable aspects of your home.
Screen Tenants Carefully
Start looking for a tenant as soon as your property is ready to be shown. Then, choose your tenant very, very carefully. You need to be able to depend on this person not only to pay the rent on time, but also to keep your home in good condition. Also, if the person is someone you may be cohabitating with, learn their habits so you won't run into any nasty surprises.
Don't forget to gather references for potential tenants and check their credit histories. You should also take safety precautions when screening a tenant — after all, this person is a stranger!
Once you've found the right tenant, ask for a reasonable security deposit and arrange an appropriate payment schedule.
The Bottom Line
Renting a home to a potential tenant can be beneficial for both parties—but only if homeowners take the time to address and prevent the potential pitfalls of this option. After, all it's still your house. (To learn more, see: Can't Sell Your Home? Rent It.)
