Tenant Using Rental Property as Full Time AirBnB

Matthew Fullam

Posted

BP,

I was just informed through a neighbor that my tenant has been renting out my property on AirBnB without my knowledge since the first day of his lease.  My lease clearly states there is no subletting allowed, however, he does pay rent on time (early actually) every month.  Should I be mad? Should I kick him out? Can any landlords provide their input on how I should handle this? I would also be interested in hearing any attorney's opinions on what to do. Thanks in advance.

-Matt

If you’re going to confront your tenant, create an AirBnb account with a fake name. Book yourself at your own property. Ask him to be there during check in because this is your first time doing AirBnB and you’re nervous. Get there early and let yourself in. Have a new lease agreement on the table ready for him to sign.

Might as well have some fun scaring the living day lights out of him. Video would be fun to share on BP.
