TL;DR
Overstaying your visa results in a fine from immigration once discovered, and hotels/landlords will refuse to check you in with an expired visa.
No one checks your visa status in advance, but if you overstay, immigration will fine you once they catch it. With an expired visa, no hotel or rental apartment will check you in.
If you follow the law and send your registration details to your landlord on time, you won't have issues with border officials. But if you have any fines on record — even one — expect stricter treatment at the border.
Serious legal trouble, especially criminal cases, is a different matter — there's no exact data, but authorities can legally deport offenders back to their home country.
