Something to consider. Like all renters, it is a crap shoot. But when it comes to asian students, there is very little back ground checks you can do and most of them have never lived on their own before and have no ties so there is no reason for them to follow any rules or strata by-laws.
I have a friend who's GF was living with 2 other girls in a 1 bedroom apartment. My friend's GF was sleeping on a fold out couch bed in the living room.
I was on strata up until a few months ago, and we were called for a water leak. We walked into the 1 bed room unit and found 3 girls living in there.
They had 2 beds in the bedroom and a mattress on the floor of the living room with a folding partition set up for privacy. No, they were not prosituting themselves out of the unit.
Currently, one of our neighbours is renting out their furnished 2 bedroom unit to a couple. The couple in turn, are subletting the extra bedroom and also have a dog.
In the 2 months that they have moved in, their dog has chewed up the furniture, pee'd all over the carpets, and the tenants have had a few late night parties and the unit is full of garbage.
But worst of all, there is no recourse if these people decide to pack their bags and walk away one night leaving the mess for the owners to take care of.
