Tenant wants to do a daycare at home

[Sam P.]

My tenant, who has 5 kids with her(all are named in the lease ) wants to do a home daycare and take in 1 or 2 kids. Is that a good idea? She says she will get insurance. She did not talk about license or stuff like that. . I already pointed out other tenants might not like it, but she claims they will be ok.

This comes up more than you'd think. The near unanimous consensus is "hell no". 

Sounds like it is not a SFR, but a multi-tenant building. If that is correct, the other tenants will hate you and they will leave.

There will be a ton more wear and tear on your unit. You will be sued if something happens. She'll have insurance? Great, but when my kid needs 24/7 lifetime care after an injury and the jury awards me $30M, her policy isn't going to pay out much and I'll be collecting the rest from you for the rest of your life. 

Check your local laws. In some areas you cannot say no to a child care business as long as it is under X number of children.
