You need a business license from the county you are located in and the state. You need to collect taxes and pay them to the county and the state. You need to make sure your house meets all state regulated codes...such as emergency lighting, smoke alarms, etc. It is not a simple thing to rent out a room or a house. You have to follow local, state and federal regulations and pay the taxes on the rent you collect. Otherwise there are big fines and penalties.
