You could also have a separate agreement outlining house rules...I havent done this but it's something i'm considering.Here are a few issues that have come up while I've house hacked:- Tenants disagreeing about how clean the common areas should be, WHO is cleaning, and whether it's worth having a cleaning service (monthly)- the house's temperature- Some tenants leaving things out in the common areas and other tenants getting annoyed at it.Every situation is going to be different, but if you've ever lived with roommates...it's similar to that, except you're not paying rent!

@Lee BrewerI'm not a seasoned landlord, but I am very seasoned with writing leases and dealing with tenant-landlord issues from my work as an agent.
