I am considering renting out my entire home during the times that I am on vacation or away on business trips. If anyone has done this before, what kind of precautions do you take to avoid worst case scenarios such as theft and property damage?
A lot of hosts, given Airbnb terms, policies and the way security deposit claims are handled, will never rent their entire place, @Meg72. Read the forum to learn more about it.
Should you decide to rent, remove all the stuff that doesn't have to be there and make sure you can control it as much as possible.
The common issues related to the rental of whole places include: damage, theft, inconsiderate usage of amenities, energy supplies, lack of common sense in handling things leading to excessive wear and tear.
Since more and more hosts are aware how to review guests, it's good to rely on the guests' reviews while accepting reservations.
I am thinking of renting my home while i am away and having a "property manager" that is in town. Did. you decide to rent? If so has it worked out?
