Why are you renting the rooms? Need the rent income.
Who are the closest neighbors and what are their potentially MCS-triggering habits? On one side the house is empty and unlikely to be sold. On the other side, the neighbor is a big user of lawn chemicals but never sprays indiscriminatly into the air. There is a wall behind us to protect from seldom used street.

Due to the nature of the illness, potential MCS buyers/renters will need to stay in a home overnight, or for an extended period, before committing to a purchase or long-term lease. Doing so puts the homeowner at risk for potential contamination of the space. Are you willing to do this? Yes
Potential buyer/renter can stay overnight in home for 1 week before committing to rent, at a fee of $500. There is no charge to come and sit around a while.

Allowed personal care products, bedding materials, laundry products, etc.: Must be fragrance free including “natural” smells. Basically, if something bothers anyone in the house it must no longer be used.
House rules: Remove shoes upon entering. No sitting around all day talking about MCS.
