As part of our booking process, we require guests to list the names of all parties staying overnight during the stay.
The wording is as follows:
"We already have you (person booking) listed as one of the guests. In preparation for your stay, please provide the first and last names of all overnight guests. This includes relatives and/or friends (adults and children) who may stay for only a night or two. We must know specifically who is residing in the premises due to insurance regulations and safety/security practices."
This allows us to know exactly who will be staying at our rental in case there is an issue with someone being locked out, calling for assistance, or should there be an emergency such as a fire/domestic dispute/natural disaster, etc. Also, as we contract with an insurance carrier specifically for rental coverage, we have guest information if we need to file a claim.
Most guests don't have an issue with the request. We are able to rest more comfortably knowing who is occupying our rental.
