PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Portland homeowners can now earn extra cash by renting a room out through the city’s new home share pilot program.
The Portland Housing Bureau announced last week that it is offering one-time grants to homeowners who rent out their spare rooms using a qualified home share provider.
In a press release, Mayor Keith Wilson said the city is exploring ways to utilize existing housing as part of its ongoing effort to address the housing crisis.
“For many Portlanders, home sharing is a win-win solution, helping homeowners to supplement their incomes while providing low-income tenants with affordable housing options,” he said. “We’ve seen similar programs thrive in cities across the nation, and I’m excited to offer incentives and support to boost home sharing in our community.”
Homeowners who meet all requirements can receive $1,000 for the first room, and $500 for each additional room after the first 30 days of leasing.
The rooms must be made available for at least 12 months, and rent cannot exceed $200 per week, including utilities and fees. The rooms also cannot have been rented out within the last 12 months. Tenants may not be members of the homeowner’s family or household, and may not be charged a security deposit.

Ha haaaaaas! Yeah. No threat of fraud here.
Some of the imbecile citizens of Portland will take the city up in this offer. I’ll notify the coroner to stand by
Right out of Doctor Zhivago.
you get an extra $1,000 death benefit if your new renter murders you
Wonder how many rapes, robberies, murders and property destruction this is going to generate?
Oh, this will end well.
No doubts.
None at all.
What could possibly go wrong…?
How well are landlords treated under eviction codes for Portland?
Think you might as well formally adopt your new permanent squatters.
Deport illegal aliens and the problem goes away, along with many other problems.
It seems this will create great opportunities for squatting, if the renter’s behavior is intolerable and the owner tries to evict.
Big dog barkin’
Do he bite?
Kill my landlord...
Kill my landlord...
The left-“unless you get free stuff then you’re oppressed”
Once they get in, getting rid of them would take at least 6-12 months.
LOL! Let’s see how many of those oh so tolerant “caring” lefties rent out a room in THEIR homes for an illegal alien.
Low income people renting each other rooms ala the child care scam in MN
This first phase is still voluntary!
Which cities exactly? Color me skeptical.
This is a great idea. A 1000 per week? No per month? No per year? No per only ONE TIME! Grant. Cool. So you let some homeless person in your home, and theoretically they pay you rent and buy their own food. Hopefully they won’t have some medical emergency that you have to call an ambulance or take them to a hospital. You would have to keep a couple of Narcan injections on hand but Narcan doesn’t work on meth. So then if they don’t pay you have to evict them. It’s like saying what a cute tapeworm.
Then they start eating your ice cream and plugging up your toilet and borrowing money from you and using your WiFi to stream porn. Inviting their friends over. Next thing you know you are meeting their drug dealer. I really hope some democrats take them up on it.
