We owned rental property for years. I'd say it is luck of the draw. Some renters are wonderful. Some are awful.
I've had previous landlords flat out lie to me about a renter. Of course, you don't find that out until after the fact.
Typically arranging to have repairs done is your responsibility. That may not be a big deal, but if you are moving far away I would think it would be a pain.
I'd have to say overall our landlord experience was tolerable and profitable. We sold out when my husband lost his job because we didn't want to own here if we were moving away.
