Can attest to this, living on a street which each year sees houses sold off to landlords, and now there are very few of us occupying-owners left.

The renters all have rubbish in their front and back yard, have more pets that they let bark and poo everywhere, smoke weed etc.

This has more to do with how the neighborhood is going (literally “to the dogs”) than it does with renting - you’d be surprised at the houses that look owner occupied but are actually rentals.
