Does standard renters insurance cover damage, vandalism, or theft by an Airbnb guest?

My cousin is renting an apartment, and he's thinking of listing it on Airbnb since he'll be away for a few months for work. His landlord is open to this idea and they would share the profits. Will my cousin's renters insurance cover any problems caused by an Airbnb guest?

No, standard renters insurance does not cover damage, vandalism, or theft by an Airbnb guest. This would instead be covered by the insurance of the person who owns the Airbnb, assuming the policy extends to short-term rentals.
