No rule says you have to accept whatever rules the landlord has. They must respect your expectations, as you respect his requests. It is hard to give a 4-bedroom house for rent and, of course, you do not want to give it to the wrong people. Therefore, be sure to find those who will care for your house as if it is theirs. Also, do not agree to pay expenses that are not yours. Before renting a home, it is better to find out the owner's and tenant's costs and responsibilities.
