Renting to 18 year olds

Hey Everyone, We have just started an airbnb and wanted to get your thoughts on renting to 18 year olds. Has anyone done it? Any advice would be welcomed!

As a rule we don't rent to anyone under 25, however, we have made exceptions which included some 18 year olds for a stay.  The times I have made exceptions, the potential guests saw the rules and contacted us and communicated with us directly.  The times we felt like we were dealing with mature and responsible people we allowed them to book.  If we didn't get that feeling then we would stick with the rules.  So the times we allowed it, we have never had any issues.  I think you just have to be careful and vet them out through conversation.  Maturity and responsibility do not all of the sudden start with a magic age unfortunately.
