The answer may depend on your situation, but, regardless of your location, there are a few factors that you might consider when making the decision to rent out property. They may include: the amount of property taxes, the scope of tenants' rights, any limitations on security deposit amounts, mandatory disclosures, and how hard it could be to evict a tenant in the event that the relationship does not work out.
