Actually, if he hooks the four tennents and the router to a five port switch, the tennents won't be able to sniff anything but the broadcast packets.
It seems to me that this would work perfectly *if* each tenant either configures all their machines with static IP addresses or has some other way of handing out IP addresses. I do not see how to use DHCP to assign the 192.168.1.0/24 block to Tenant #1, the 192.168.2.0/24 block to Tenant #2, etc. via DHCP on a single server if all of them are coming in via a switch.
Once everyone has an IP address, this is great. But how to assign them?
