How to verify a guest?

Hi. How do I verify a user. The user has no reviews, is newly created, and wants to "film" a video at the house.  This seems odd.

@Jon114, spaces used for film locations cost as much per hour as you are charging per night. There is a reason for this. Filming is very invasive. And there is the newly created, unreviewed profile, not a problem in itself, but doesn't reassure. Like @Gerry-And-Rashid0 suggest, best thing is to say no.

Hello there!, well, you can't verify, they have to do it for themselves!, so if the user is new, and no verifications, it's up to you!

I'm a visual artist, and even if it seems odd, it might be true, locations are very expensive when its something related to videos or photography, and charged per hour.

If you don't want to lose that "money" , what you could do, its offer a deal, and say ; hey you are not verify, and this is risky for me, but i could rent you the place, but i have to be present meanwhile. 

And then not rent it for more than 1 day you know?

If they want it for more than 1 day, then sorry.. don't do it, even tho they have good intentions!, not worth it.

 

Greetings!
