Commentary for Avodah Zarah 43:2
א"ה מאי איריא מפני שנקראת על שמו תיפוק ליה משום (ויקרא יט, יד) לפני עור לא תתן מכשול חדא ועוד קאמר חדא משום לפני עור ועוד מפני שנקראת על שמו
The Talmud notes that there is an additional reason for why it is prohibited to rent a field to a Samaritan. This will give the Samaritan an opportunity to work the field on hol hamoed. Providing a person with an opportunity to transgress is considered placing a stumbling block before the bling. Thus there are really two reasons why one should not do this.
