About procedure to become a host on Airbnb.

[Tuấn15]

Hello everyone. I have some questions about how to become a host on Airbnb, hopefully you guys will help me answer them:

1. Do I have to sign any kind of contract with Airbnb?

2. How can Airbnb make sure I'm not uploading false information about the accommodation? I learn that customers will be able to book the accommodation 24 hours after it gets uploaded.

3. Is there anything else about the procedure that I should take into consideration?

Your answers will be of much help to me. Thank you.

@Tuấn15 to answer your questions:

1) No - You agree to Airbnb's terms by listing with them

2) Basically your guest's reviews will ensure your listing is honest. You don't get paid until the day after check in so a scam listing will not benefit the host.

3) Yes there are lots of things to consider. Key for me are:

a) Is it legal to list your property

b) Do you have permission from your landlord or mortgage company

c) Is your insurance company happy to continue to cover you if you list on Airbnb
