If you don't have a lease, you can negotiate length of stay, deposit, or other details.

However, they can issue warrants if necessary.

Security cameras are also a good idea. It is important to check that your neighbors allow you leave your property unlocked at nights and that you have sufficient insurance. Finally, you should never let strangers into your house, even if they say they're moving in next door.
