I firmly believe that ALL hosts should have a security deposit for their listing. There are many times where a host posts on the Community Center that a guest caused damage, broke something in their listing, or any other reason a host may need to make a claim. In order to make a claim on damage or other issues, you need to have a security deposit in place in which the guest agrees to pay for damages at the time of booking. If you need to make a claim on the security deposit, you need to do this within 48 hours after the guest checks out.
Setting a Security Deposit
Step 1: Click on "Host" and then "Manage Listing". You will then want to choose "Manage Listing and Calendar" to edit your listing.
Step 2: On the left hand menu, choose "Pricing" and then scroll down to the "Additional Pricing Options" section. Check the "Security Deposit" box and then enter the amount for your security deposit.
