To allow or not aloow tenants to Air BnB

[Will Foster]

Good morning BPers!

I'm planning to purchase a duplex, that I will live in one unit, while renting out the other. I was thinking of Air BnBing one of my rooms in my unit, but I was not sure if I wanted to allow my tenant to do the same. It does seem a bit condescending to do it and not allow them too. But it would mean opening the door for problems down the road, when I move out after a year and move into my next purchase.

How have others dealt with this situation? Charging a fee to the tenant to allow them. Or just not do it myself and not allow that door to be opened at all.

Thanks for your feedback

Why not explore AirBnB’ing the entire second unit?
