I have been looking for people to rent out a room to in my town house, ie shared resedence, and I the owner of the porperty live in it. I have found a person that apears to be decent , and I would have no problem letting her moove in.
however, she is an underage 16 year old femail, (17 in september), and I am 27 year old male. I cant help but think of a 100 ways this could go bad, is there any way to protect myself in this situation or should i just say no.
and to clarify things, I mantain a profesional distance from any femail I rent to. and have rented to others in the past, mainly college/university students

I don't think there is any legal recourse if there is a problem. You are correct, there are very many types of trouble in this arrangement. Just say no. You'll find someone more suitable.

This is a bad idea from the standpoint if something goes wrong and any of the property is damaged, you cannot sue a minor in court.

Steer clear of this one entirely. What will you do, even if you are innocent, if this young female makes any sort of charge of sexual activity against her ?
Your instincts are correct. Find another tenant.

I'd just say no. You're right, there are just too many potential problems.
