Not my experience at all. I rented my fully furnished house to 2 guys that were building a Walmart expansion in my town. Never had one call from them in a year and when they left, the house was spotless. They took care of the house as good as we did. I would rent to them in a heartbeat. Not all tenants are pigs and will trash your house. You hear lots of horror stories and you do have to be very careful who you rent to. Never never accept pets. I've seen thousands of dollars damage from dogs and cats. Why risk it.
