    i decided to rent out two rooms in my house for about 5 months or one semester (i live in a college town).

    so far, i've got this goofy german foreign student interested. he seems cool, but he's still a college kid. what are german's like?

    what's your experience with live-in tenants? i've never actually lived with anyone that's not either a friend or an ex-gf. anything i should know, like set laundry days, no loud music after 2am or hide my beer?

    Germans are bad people. Ever heard of Hitler? Or Boris Becker?

    They respond well to strict regimentation, discipline, and lots of screaming.

    Get ready to hear a lot of David Hasselhoff 'music' blaring through the walls.

    Wasn't Hitler Austrian?

    Regardless of the nationality, I would lay down some rules with the tenant right from the start - things such as who's responsible for cleaning up public areas (living room, kitchen, bathrooms), acceptable noise levels, visitors, etc.
