Matt Roloff is considering stricter rules for his guests at Roloff Farms after an unexpected scenario arose with recent renters.

During the season 25 premiere of Little People, Big World on Tuesday, Roloff shares an update on the farm with his fiancée Caryn Chandler after she returned from a visit to Arizona. He reveals that renters have been “filming” things on the property — and he’s not sure exactly what.

“We are tightening down the rules on what people can do,” Roloff tells his fiancée. “You can’t come over here and create a porno video or something. I mean that’s what it’s come down to.”

With a laugh, Chandler asks how he’d know what kinds of videos they’re filming.

“Well we wouldn’t,” Roloff responds, “but it would show up and somebody would say, ‘isn’t that the Roloff living room?’”

In a confessional, he adds, “People were filming and we didn’t know if they were filming like, dirty, obscene stuff.”

Roloff first announced his plans to turn the north side of his Oregon farm, known as the “big house,” into a short-term rental in Oct. 2022 after he originally listed it for sale in May that same year.

“The short-term rental concept has been very, very good. We’re booked almost solid,” he shares in the season premiere. “I would say my ultimate goal would still be to sell the north side but I’m going to do this short-term rental now while the economy is sort of in question.” 

He then tells Chandler that along with hosting potential X-rated renters, he’s had trouble from other guests on the farm. 

“You like to think when you do these short-term rentals that you -

’re just going to have these cute little families. Grandma and the kids,” he tells Chandler, to which she jokes, “Like a Roloff reunion.”

He continues: “We had that once, but of the 20 or 30 that we’ve had so far — every scenario is different. One group will come in and it will be wonderful, but then there’s other times when people try to clean the wine glasses down the garbage disposal so we had shards of glass down the garbage disposal — that was interesting. There was a pool queue in the wall.” 

Ahead of the season premiere, Roloff opened up in a PEOPLE exclusive preview clip about who he plans to leave the farm to. He and Chandler sit down with Matt's ex-wife Amy Roloff and her husband Chris Marek to share the news.

"We're all but decided that when I die we're giving whatever piece of the farm I still have to Amy," Matt says in the clip. Meanwhile Amy, 61, is shocked by her ex-husband’s decision, calling it “crazy.”

"I don't even know how to comment on that," she says.

Appearing a bit flustered by her reaction, Matt explains that it’s “too complicated” to leave the farm to any of their four children — twins Zach and Jeremy, 33, a daughter named Molly, 30, and another son named Jacob, 27, particularly amid a growing rift with Zach that was details in the last season of the show.

Season 25 of Little People, Big World premieres Tuesday, Feb. 20 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on TLC, MAX, and discovery+.
