Long term rental

I have a guest requesting to stay for a 60 day period. They have 5.0 rating from 18 hosts. They seem like good guest. I am wanting to rent to them but how do i go about long term rentals and pricing?

@Harim6 you could estimate what your normal occupancy percentage is and then give them a discount that is appropriate. If occupancy is normally 60% then perhaps a (100-60)/2 = 20% is fair. Unless, of course it is for mid-winter and you will spend a lot on heating.

Also

Check your state laws in case you are inadvertently creating a tenancy.

Agree in advance who is cleaning and changing the linen

Personally I would never take such a long term booking through Airbnb as they are likely to have tenancy rights. What are the tenancy laws where you live? @Harim6 

 

I only take long term tenants with credit checks, previous landlord references and rent checks, right to abode checks etc.

 

Your long term rental pricing is already set up on your listing (see your monthly discounts)
