Joan Liu should I rent my house to someone who wants to use it for cooperate housing

They will move on and look for the next person who isn't smart enough to figure out what they are up to.It's highly likely that if there was a claim on your own policy it may not be covered if it was being sublet for a separate commercial purpose (AirBnB, etc)... so I would be really careful about making sure you are covered insurance-wise.Proceed at your own risk, and all the best!
