We've already had to cancel a few guests. Due to AirBnB's Covid-19 Policies this has not harmed our superhost status. As soon as the orders came down making short-term rentals illegal we blocked our calendar (except for one long-term renter) until the expiration of the Stay-at-Home order on May 28th, and have not canceled our June guests. We are also accepting new reservations beginning in June.
However, as the state has begun to open up other industries and businesses, the restrictions on short-term-rentals has so far remained in place, making it like like a possibility that they could remain in place after May 28th. For example, in the UP restaurants and bars will be reopening, but short-term rentals will remain illegal. We still have some time before our first bookings, but it's certainly possible at this point that it will be illegal for us to host some of our guests come June. We just don't have any way to know.
We've been sure to communicate the uncertainty with our guests, but if the worst happens and we are forced to cancel, it looks to me as if AirBnB's Covid-19 policies will no longer be in effect.
Who should we contact so that we can make these cancellations without impacting our superhost status (if this happens it's going to happen to all hosts in Michigan, or at least parts of Michigan, so we won't be alone in this).
Thanks!
