Listing my mothers cabin

[Tor8446]

hi all

I want to list my mothers cabin and do all the hosting. Can I just make a personal agreement with her, and go ahead ?
Or does Airbnb need any official consent from her, because the property is not mine ?

How does this work ?

thanx

@Tor8446 Airbnb doesn't care about this so a personal arrangement should be fine. However you need to consider tax implications for you and your mother. If you set it up wrongly from a tax point of view you will have years of hassle!

[Tor8446]

yes, thank you. And when you say tax implications, you mean taxing to government, right ?
(not airbmb tax)

thanx again

@Tor8446 Yes - tax to government such as income tax. In many jurisdictions Airbnb supply rental income figures to the government and the way the listing is set up determines which person is said to have received the income.
