New to hosting

Hi there.

 

I am new to hosting and was after some advice about what I should be aware of.  Especially the legal requirements regarding tax and insurance. Should I be joining any organisations.

 

The caravan belongs to my landlord but he has given permission to rent out with shared profits.  Has anyone ever done this? Any advice would be greatfully received.

 

Thank you.

try putting "things to know before hosting on airbnb" into google...you will see a lot of posts to help you 

 

There is a lot to be aware of......pick and choose the advice in those posts for what suits your listing 

 

Tax... .you have to declare income on your tax form

 

insurance - dont rely on Airbnb ....many insurers wont insure for Airbnb type hosting....and it can be expensive...as the risk is higher.....see the help section about what insurance Airbnb "has"

 

Read as much of the help section as you can so that you are familiar with the basics...and read posts in the Community become aware of the kind of issues hosts face....

 

The more you know before you start hosting the easier it all is...

 

something to get you started
