Jesse and Francis hear some friends talking about how much money they earn using Airbnb to rent out their room on weekends when they are out of town. Based on this rental agreement, is this practice allowable?

Answer and explanation:

Rental agreements are legal documents where the landlord or owner of the property establishes to whom, what, when, and for how much a property or part of it will be leased. The landlord becomes responsible for granting conditions that allow the regular and peaceful living of the tenants within the property and the tenant becomes responsible for damages caused to the property and for the payment of rent on a regular basis established in the agreement.

In Jesse and Francis's case, they hear their friends are renting their room on the weekends using an online house rental service. Under the rental agreement that would not be allowable since Jesse and Francis's friends would be leasing a property that does not belong to them. They cannot become landlords being only tenants. The real owner of the room can even evict the tenant for breaching the contract.
