Third Property Property Management

I’m faced with a situation where my property manger may be embezzling funds from my rental. What recourse may I have through Airbnb?

@George2294  None through AirBnB.  AirBnB is not a party to your contract with the property manager.

 

It sounds like you have allowed the property manager to list your property and receive all payments from the bookings.  Do they disburse to you after they have taken their fees and expenses?  Is your property manager providing you with detailed monthly reports for the number of rentals and the expenses? Do you have access to your calendar on AirBnB?  Are you listed as the host or the co-host?   Is the property manager "charging" you for taxes that your guests have already paid via AirBNB?  

 

Look at your contract and decide what you are going to do moving forward.  AirBnB is not going to assist you.

None.  Sorry but Airbnb was not involved in your agreement.  If it is a legal Property Manager Company then you should have a legal agreement concerning his fees and your payments.  Possible actions by parties if dissatisfied.

When  you set the listing up you would have set up the payment percentage for her as the cohost.

 

how do you think she may be embezzling you @George2294

 

what does it say in your contract about payment terms band disputes? 

your contract with a supplier ie a cohost is nothing to do with Airbnb. It's a commercial arrangement between you and the cohost .

 

if you have proof she is stealing from you then sue her @George2294
