Long term renters using unit as Airbnb- good idea/bad idea?

[Kimberly Gillock]

I feel like I already know the answer to my own question, but does anyone allow their long-term renters to Airbnb their units while they’re out of town? I’ve had several potential tenants ask. They would do all the management and the Airbnb income would help them with rent. It theoretically wouldn’t be any extra work for me, but I feel like it might open up some extra liability issues and I’m not super excited not knowing who is staying in my units. If anyone has allowed this, I’d love to hear about your experience.
