Address History - PR Card Renewal Application

This is about a PR card renewal application. And there are a few questions on 2 situations.

Situation-01
The applicant had bail conditions, so he lived out of his Canadian residential address for 7.5 months once, and later again for 2 weeks.; both times he lived inside Canada.

During the period of his stay out of his residential address, he lived at several addresses including Airbnb, hotels, short-term rentals, etc. These stays include as short as 1-7 night stays at Airbnb and hotels to 3-5 months stay at short-term private rentals.

Now it is a complex thing to write and list those numerous short to long stays in the address history. So is it ok to just simply write the applicant’s original residential address? Or should he write every single stay in the address history?

I was wondering if it would be wise to write just the original residential address in the address history, and then provide a letter of explanation informing IRCC of his stay-out period and the reason (to keep it short, precise, and uncomplicated) for writing just the original residential address in the address history. How is this idea?

Situation-02

The applicant went to his family out of Canada for a long vacation and lived there for 4 months. Should he write this period and the address separately in the address history? Or is it ok to just write his original residential address in Canada, and then inform IRCC about his 4 months vacation outside Canada in the letter of explanation?

Your valuable opinions would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

In both situations, did the applicant use any of these inside and outside Canada addresses for mailing or delivery purposes? If so, I would include those addresses.

In Situation 1, the applicant used 1 of the addresses for the bank account and mobile phone account. However, to keep everything clear, I prefer to write the primary (applicant's own) address in the address history, and then write about the stay-out periods in the letter of explanation. How is the idea you think?

In Situation 2, the applicant traveled abroad and stayed there for 4 months, and that address wasn't used for any mailing or deliveries. However, since that relates to travel history, I prefer the address to be mentioned in the address history. Please let me know your opinion on this.
