To allow or not aloow tenants to Air BnB

[Will Foster]

Good morning BPers!

I'm planning to purchase a duplex, that I will live in one unit, while renting out the other. I was thinking of Air BnBing one of my rooms in my unit, but I was not sure if I wanted to allow my tenant to do the same. It does seem a bit condescending to do it and not allow them too. But it would mean opening the door for problems down the road, when I move out after a year and move into my next purchase.

How have others dealt with this situation? Charging a fee to the tenant to allow them. Or just not do it myself and not allow that door to be opened at all.

Thanks for your feedback
