Renting to the employees of a small business.

[Kien Nguyen]

Evening everyone,

I want to rent my home out to a local small business who requires employee housing. I had a few questions:

1) I assume I don't need commercial zoning because I'm not renting specifically for the operation of the business? I'm renting to the employees?

2) Should I put the lease between me and the small business itself, the owner of the business, or the employees? 

3) should I do a background check on the employees? The owners?

Thank you everyone for the time. I really appreciate any guidance.
