I don't think this is being discussed enough but I frequently see a lot of landlords trying to make their contract more attractive by including an internet offer with the rent (this is especially useful for people that look for 6-months contracts when internet providers usually give you a minimum contract length of a year).
Tenants could technically do any kind of illegal activities by using that network. I've always wondered how and who would be liable in case someone uncovers something big enough to get the attention of law enforcement.
I guess this differs by country but it seems highly plausible that a legal loophole could exist, leaving the landlord unexpectedly responsible for the tenant's actions.

Not in any normal country.

The person doing the crimes, obviously. The cops would most likely never even contact the landlord, as they’d just show up at the address where the line is connected.
This 100%.
