One of my sons lived in multiple houses where they rented by the room, and all was fine. He lived in 2 places with same management and at the end they only charged us $75, because he left the bathroom a real mess and failed to take out a bunch of trash.
Younger son had 2 different apartments, and they both required a parent to be on the lease. I refused to be the only parent on the lease, but I was fine as long as a parent of each student was on the lease. They all shared everything, including the amount for repairs or whatever when they left. The managers were pretty reasonable in both cases. I think only one charged anything when they left.
I suggest you document how things will work before signing anything. We had one kid try to renegotiate rent once they were all signed. I was not happy about that, but I think we did change it just a little to keep peace.
I’ve heard some bad stories, but so far my experiences have been fine.
