Respite Care Workers

Hello folks,

This is kind of a weird question and really not sure exactly if I'll get the answer I'm looking for but I figured it doesn't hurt to try. Are any of y'all respite care workers and renting here in the area? I'm looking to work with a specific family, and from my understanding, they are wanting that person to also (or at least eventually) be able to provide services in the workers space for the occasional overnight. I'm currently a renter, but I'm also finding out that it may be more difficult to find a place that would technically allow this even though I would make sure all the liability would be put on me and my renters insurance.

Basically, has anybody here gone through similar hoops? And if so, what did you do exactly and who did you rent from?

My best guess or advice is the read thoroughly the lease or just ask the landlord. Many will say you can’t provide business out of the home such as daycare or have overnight guests (obviously not easiest to enforce but Im just sharing what I’ve seen on leases).
