This goes on a lot where I live; people rent out their spare rooms to dodge bedroom tax or make a little extra, or get au pairs, and pick whoever looks like least trouble, and not someone to cook malodorous food, do drugs or make a mess of the shared space.
Landlords/boarders like exchange students as lodgers because a lot of them are tidy and will make dinner/do laundry as well as paying rent.
