[WSBARP] Real Estate Question - Commercial Tenant Desires to Rent Extra Space for Use that May Include Air BnB

[Matt Yates]

Listmates:

I have a client who owns a small building in Southwest WA.  The bottom floor is rented out to a boutique restaurant and now bottom floor tenants would like to rent out the top floor as well.  Top floor was previously an apartment but could be converted to office space.  If current tenants rent out the top floor, they would like to have to option to subrent it as an Airbnb.

Other than the tax implications which tenants are going to be assigned all responsibility for, are there any specific Airbnb issues that anyone has run into that would not be addressed by appropriate indemnification provisions?
