Renting apartment for business housing?

[Angela Persico]

I listed my first apartment and have been showing it this week. I had someone view the apartment yesterday and during the showing he told me that he was actually looking to rent the apartment for his business. He has workers that he places in housing while they're on the job and has been utilizing Air BnBs, which is expensive, so he's looking to rent an apartment for 6 months to a year. He would place 1-2 guys in the apartment at any given time, who might stay there for a month or two, or maybe only a few days. There would be times where the apartment is vacant and his assistant would check on the apartment every few days. His business would pay the rent every month, regardless of it being vacant of his crew. 

I'm not sure if this is a good or bad idea, or if I should just stick with a regular tenant for my first rental, as I've got 3 other decent applicants. I have a lease drafted for a regular tenant, but I'm not sure how this might be different. Would this be considered subletting? Has anyone here had a "tenant" like this before? What was the process and how did it go?
