Will it flag an audit that my renter deducted 100% of their rent listing my residence as a business address?

My home is my residence and I rent a portion out for residential use only. My renter took the entire rent as a business deduction, stating that it's a business address. Will the IRS audit me by seeing my address reported as my residence, then seeing my address reported as a business address too?

If you properly report the rental income on your return then you have nothing to worry about no matter what the other person does on their return.
