About Teresa Aysan, the Room Renting Coach
Amazon #1 Bestselling Author
Teresa Aysan's book helps homeowners who need extra income to overcome the three biggest challenges of room renting: privacy, security, and getting rid of the person who does not work out.
In 2008 when the market crashed, Teresa and her husband, Mike, needed a monthly cash injection. She looked around at the empty rooms in her house and decided to rent them out. Since then she has rented to more than fifty renters. Her experiences have given her the expertise and charisma it takes to rent rooms successfully.
She's a widow now and has a fun-filled social life with people who have become such good friends that they're nearly family. The early anxieties are gone.
Her book tells the unaltered truth about renting a room in your house. Teresa shares her proprietary PICK process to help you Prepare, Implement, Celebrate, and Keep your best renters. She gives you access to checklists and documents. She includes fun renter stories, Scriptures, and quotes from experts.
She does not pretend that the world is perfect. Situations happen and she shares how you can deal with them, with the strength of God and inner resolve.
Teresa has a Masters of Business Administration and has worked in marketing and product management in the corporate world for more than thirty years.
In her thirties, she worked as an entrepreneur while raising and homeschooling their children.
In her forties, she was Chairman of the Board of Kings Christian Collegiate in Oakville, Ontario, Canada, in the early years when the board and members were writing the constitution, buying the property, and hiring the first principal.
She was born into a Christian family, drifted during her twenties, was born again in her thirties, and has since been actively involved in church and in Christian education.

"When my husband and I bought our home, we rented a room to an elderly gentleman to help with our mortgage payments. Before accepting his application, we presented him with a long questionnaire and asked him for references. It was a hard time for us financially as our family grew so we rented the room to him, and it was a happy arrangement for the years he stayed with us. It was around this time that I became a Christian. God began teaching me to rely on His strength and all our needs were met through the experience of renting to a complete stranger. After our first Renter moved, we rented to a friend going through a separation and again we were blessed in return. It was a joy to be able to help someone in need. It was even a greater joy to see her reunited with her husband. Each time we rented we learned something new about our Renter as well as ourselves. Reading Teresa's book sparked the remembrance of the joy and security that we experienced while sharing our space with someone in need. With Teresa's book and her four-pillar process I know that if God calls us back into renting rooms, we will have all the tools we need in order to do even a better job the next time around."

"Teresa Aysan's book about room renting is a concrete tool that Christians can use to live out their faith and to reach out to their neighbours in Christ's name. Room renting is timely not only because people are looking for ways to make extra income, but it also provides opportunities to share the gospel to a world increasingly searching for truth. Sharing space in homes and living in community with others is beneficial and affordable, combatting isolation and loneliness. My husband and I are not interested in renting out a room in our home, but I would like to be part of a community that prays for and encourages those who do. We have four sons and our niece lived here for a few months while she was a student-teacher at a local school, and it was wonderful. It was like having a daughter! Renting rooms is a way of serving others and taking the God-given gift of hospitality to the next level."
Donna Beechey
"I have rented a room in my house several times. Once I rented to a young man who was the same age as my son, and they got along very well. Then the young man got married, and his wife moved in, then they had a baby. The dynamics changed. Once I met a man at church and invited him back for lunch. My Renters provided a safety net to ensure that I was secure. Since then I have married, so I no longer rent a room in our house. My parents (95 and 93) live in a senior centre and they pay $6,000 per month. My mum says they have paid over half a million dollars by now. That is for basic rent and food. It does not include any nursing. People today are being tempted by the reverse mortgage ads on TV. In that scenario, you may end up with nothing in the end to pass on to your kids. Renting a room in your house is one way to be able to stay in your matrimonial home."
Suzanne Nadon
"We have been renting rooms in our house for years. It is a way for us to care for the environment by minimizing our carbon footprint. The income we receive from Renters also pays for all our household expenses, which allows us to travel to visit our kids and grandkids. While we are away our house is always cared for, e.g., the plants are watered, because "someone" is always home. It is a very congenial and respectful space. We have a large four-bedroom two-bathroom house and rent out three rooms, sharing the kitchen and the shower. It has been a true joy to meet people from different cultures. This year in particular when one of our Renter-students could not return to Iran because of COVID-19 we were delighted to have her stay the whole summer with us."

"Firstly, Teresa is a people person—friendly, fun, respectful, organized, and capable of making you always feel special whether one on one or while hosting a gathering of 50! And that is exactly how she runs her Room Renting business.
Secondly, she manages to select specific individuals—to rent—who fit right in and bring value to the existing 'roomies'.
Thirdly, I know, as Teresa has been my friend for 40+ years, and I in turn, have become friends with several of her Renters."
