Maybe I've been lucky, but I've only had one "iffy" tenant.

At my question of "how many will be staying", a young NY couple failed to advise me that they had a small child. (It is possible to fall twelve feet to the ground here, after crawling through the railings.) Upon arrival, crawling into the railing was exactly the first thing the child did!

That moment rated a "time-out". They also left a large baggie behind a couch that had a brown weedy substance in it!

Sometimes you just don't know how responsible your tenant will be—with their children and with your stuff. Your rental agreement should include a prohibition of illegal activities.

Another liability would be to allow any boat on your property to be available to the renters—IMHO.
