How do I convince my landlord to let me sublet ?

[DuBois Othero Toy]

So, I'll soon be moving to Indianapolis and I want to buy a decent house with the intent to air b&b the extra space. However, there is a possibility that I might have to end up renting a house if I can't find one that meets my criteria. I don't know how they would feel about me air b&b-ing extra rooms if I just rented the house. Has anyone that renting a house tried to air b&b the extra space without the landlord catching on? Thanks for the responses.

From looking at your picture, I'm guessing that I am a lot older than you.  There might still be hope for you, if you listen to my wisdom gained from experience.

This may not be what tv and movies like to portray.  But you will get FAR more ahead in life by having a good character and living responsibly.  Which includes not being a POS who has no intention of living up to the contracts/agreements he signs.  Karma IS real!  Some of the most pathetic and miserable people I've met in my lifetime are the ones who are constantly trying to con, avoid their responsibilities, and take advantage of others as much as they can.  That is no way to live and most of it catches up to them.  Making their life that much harder.

So, if you want to rent a house with the intent of AirBnb'ing some of the rooms, just be upfront about it.  I wouldn't be surprised if you find landlords/PMs who are fine with that.  I suggest you include an enticement.  Like a higher security deposit and/or a cut of the net profits.  That's the way to do it!  Make it a win-win for them also.  Then you don't need to worry about them finding out and evicting you in a hot second.
