Renting out a home to the employees of a business owner?

[Gloria A.]

Hi all,

I have a duplex unit where the top is currently vacant, and the bottom is occupied by a single woman. There is an electrician who wishes to rent the property on behalf of their employees (4 listed) to live in the home while they complete a job in the area. Would you accept this arrangement? At minimum I would like background checks on all of the employees and to have them listed on the lease with the owner as the tenant responsible for payment. I would only sign a 6 month term and require a larger security deposit. 

Is this worth the risk? I just worry about the safety and inconvenience of the tenant in the lower unit. 

Thoughts?
