We lived in the house for 6 years and AirBnBd the basement apartment to over 250 guests, and only ever had 2 issues:Residential tenancy system is completely broken for both sides imo. If I was to buy a property to rent out, it would either be Airbnb (obviously that has many issues too) or commercial where there is a lot less crap. Sign the lease, collect the amount or lock the doors and sell their crap to cover the rent. It's fast and simple and everyone knows the rules.
- escort booked the place, and after the 2nd unregistered guest/visitor we had airbnb kick her out
- a guest booked the apartment for 2, but had 4 people stay. We notified them and the additional 2 guests left.
Our good guests were visitors from outside of Ontario (from other provinces).
Our best guests were international ones, who followed all our rules.
Our least favourite guests were locals from Toronto, so we stopped accepting locals altogether.
