If my renter is is getting licensed for respite care and going to use her apartment for this, what recourse do I have?
My insurance company told me that I would not be covered for this activity and that it a business. Her lease states that she may not operate a business from the apartment but she says it is not a business. Since the tenant did not ask to get mypermission before going forward I am not sure what to do.

It is a business, and operating it out of her apartment is a violation of the lease, over which you can evict your tenant. Unless she has liability insurance for this business, you should evict her immediately. If you do not know the procedure in your state, contact a local landlord/tenant attorney in your state to handle the eviction for you.
