Allow prospective tenant to host airbnb or not

I have a 5 BR/2 BA single family home that's RM-1 zoned. It's very hard to find single family that will occupy all 5 bedrooms. So would this be a good idea to give tenant flexibility to host airbnb on the unoccupied rooms? This way I can charge a higher rent and attract more tenants. But I also read about the liability i.e. if guest causes any damage, my landlord policy won't cover it. So what would be more logical approach here?

No.  No.  It's not an option - legally or otherwise.  If you want to host a vacation rental, go for it. Take on the liability as well as the reward.  You can hire your tenant as a "greeter/cleaner."  Run your OWN business.
