My only few experiences with renters are basically like what CN said.
A co-worker rented out her house to what she thought was a nice japanese exchange student, who was here to learn english and maybe find a nice white bf while selling some of her used panties.
As it turned out, she had a few *friends* who used the house as a grow op and by the time my co-worker found out, the house was completely trashed and the police cut the power to the house and threated to send her the cleanup bill.
My wife's parents use to rent out their basement when we were dating. Over the years they had a few different families live there. The first family wasn't too bad, but the grandmother would always be spying on people and gossiping to my wife's parents. That included the type of car/person that picked up their daughter.
The second family, the husband was laid off and was home all the time. There was a few times where he was watching porn with the volume on at a decent level where everyone in the house knew what he was watching.
The third family, which happened to be the last one, was the worst. It was a family of three. Husband who was a financial planner, mom, and daughter. On a few occasions, they over stuffed the washing machine which caused the washer to fail. They stuck their wet shoes in the dryer a bunch of times, and on a few occasions overstuffed the dryer to the point the dryer broke down. So the washer was replaced but not the dryer and washing hour restrictions were implemented.
As times got tough, the rent got late but the father would make threats of going to Revenue Canada if they were evicted for the late rent.
This went on for a while till the daughter moved away to attend McGill U. That was when the father went back to China for business and the mom started to sublease the spare bedroom (s).
I use the (s) because we suspected her of using the basement as a brothel to sell herself as strange white men were coming and going at night, but when she was comfronted, just said they were co-workers. Hmmmm.... co-workers for someone who doesn't work.
