For the SUM of your tenants' rent to pay for your mortgage and most of the upkeep? Probably fair.

For ONE tenant to cover the whole mortgage? Geez, that's not nice, to put it softly.

What's weird to me is that the first one pays for their vacations and the second one pays their mortgage. If I had rental properties I would do it the other way around.
