Hi @Hanzel2 ,
When listing a timeshare hotel in Mexico on Airbnb, especially if it's your first listing and you lack traditional proof of address documents like lease agreements or utility bills, you can explore several alternative options:
1. Timeshare Documentation
- Ownership Certificate: If you have an ownership certificate for your timeshare, this document should indicate your name along with the address of the hotel. This can serve as proof of your entitlement to the property.
- Maintenance Bills: Sometimes maintenance or service charge bills associated with the timeshare may also have your name and address on them.
2. Letter from Timeshare Management
- A letter from the management of the timeshare or hotel can be very useful. This letter should confirm your ownership or rights to the property, include the property's address, your name, and be on the property's official letterhead.
3. Tax Documents
- If you have any tax documents relating to the timeshare that show your name and the property's address, these could be considered adequate proof of address.
4. Contact Airbnb Support for Guidance
- Since each case can be unique, especially in situations involving timeshares, contacting Airbnb support directly for advice can be beneficial. Explain your situation and the nature of the property. They may provide you with alternatives or accept other forms of documentation as proof.
5. Legal Affidavit
- If other documents are not available, a legal affidavit from a notary might be a workaround. This would formally state your ownership or entitlement to the property.
6. Bank Statement
- If any expenses related to the timeshare are deducted from your bank account, a bank statement might serve as a form of proof. Just ensure it shows transactions related to the property’s address.
7. Consult a Local Lawyer
- Given that real estate and timeshare laws can vary significantly by country, consulting with a local lawyer who understands Mexican property law might provide you with additional options or documentation types that are acceptable.
Before proceeding, ensure that any document you choose to submit clearly displays your name, the property's address, and is as official as possible. Airbnb’s support team can offer further customization to their advice based on their policies and your specific situation, so keeping in close communication with them during this process is recommended.
I hope this helps!
All the best,
Upfish Management
