Also there are free generic lease agreements online to copy and print out (make one for each of you). And require tenant insurance....they may not have much, but if anything happens they could hold you liable and not everyone is as honest as we are.

I would not expect anything if I was renting a room from anyone and I think that it's very nice that you offer....
I carry renters' insurance. I have a bundle with AAA: car+renters. This is fairly new - I am in my first year of doing this. Do you mean to say that the tenant should have his or her insurance? I am just clarifying because this idea did not occur to me.
