Expenses. The property owner is responsible for all maintenance services. Normal wear and tear can be costly when someone owns a home. If something needs repairs, the owner has to deal with it. A bedroom rental is an excellent way of running away from the cost of regular maintenance. Owners do all the maintenance for common rooms and items. However, tenants are responsible for any negligent breakages and destruction of property. Tenants have specific responsibilities such as fair use and rent payments. Failure to control the rentals can make the environment untenable.
