Prospective tenant plans to have co-worker stay two nights a week

I just got an application that looks great. Solid income, over 800 credit, no criminal background (has law enforcement employment history). Applicant said that they do not have any pets, but they do have a co-worker that comes through town twice a week that will be staying overnight, and they have a dog.

My standard terms for a normal pet situation are $25/month per pet, $300 non-refundable pet fee. I've negotiated all of these before (no pet fee, or 2 pets for the price of one).

As my lease is written now, the guest would be considered another tenant since they would be there more than 30 days in a calendar year. Background check on guest?

Thoughts on how to address this?
