Check the landlord and tenant act in the area. I rent out two properties for my grandparents (since they cant anymore). Basically for me I try to keep them in top order. As long as its clean, the house is in good order all utility cables are running through the walls and the furnace is working there is no problems.
Also see what the laws are in your area specially with renting out rooms because in Ontario, if the landlord (or relative) lives in the house you can basically do anything you want without them complaining (the Landlord and Tenant act wont apply)
edit: Ah fuck highlight the dont.
a decent price and your set then. check out listings in the area and find exactly what its worth (visit other rental properties on the market)
