Are you ready to rent out your home on a short-term basis with Airbnb ? A great opportunity to earn extra income while away for the vacations. However, even if Airbnb has a robust system for screening potential hosts and guests, and obliges registrants to abide by a set of rules, unforeseen risks can arise. So it’s important to ensure your safety by following these 3 tips from StyQR .
Make sure!
Airbnb has an insurance program to protect guests. This covers civil liability up to around €800 ,000 per claim. And this is in the event of legal action taken by tenants for bodily injury or property damage during their stays with Airbnb. However, the sign does not protect you from any damage to your home (wine spills, breakage, theft…) So think seriously about taking out adequate insurance.
The technology
for your safety
An access control system lets you give your guests dematerialized access to your home via smartphone. This eliminates the need for physical keys that can be easily copied or lost. Using an application, the badge is transferred to your guests with a single click, and as soon as they leave, you can easily cancel access, wherever you are in the world. It’s the ideal secure solution for Airbnb hosts wishing to control multiple properties with ease. Welcomr is an example of an application that allows you to manage 100% dematerialized and secure access control. Do away with the need for badges, keys and other access cards, and control secure access to your property!
Your identity away
people with malicious intent
If you don’t have surveillance cameras, install a safe to store your precious or personal belongings (computer, cameras, important papers…) Protect your data on the web by setting up cyber-filtering; a set of techniques limiting access to certain sites normally accessible on the Internet network and censoring your confidential data. Finally, if your guest rents your entire home, consider storing or forwarding your e-mail to another trusted address. A simple security measure!
Set up internal rules
in your digital welcome booklet
The best way to ensure your peace of mind as a host of short-term rentals is toinsist that your travelers follow specific rules. With StyQR, you can not only integrate these rules into your digital welcome booklet(respect for neighbors, no smoking in your apartment…), but also include all the information your travelers will need (wifi, digicodes, practical information, good addresses…) By scanning a QR code delivered to you, they will have access to your rules and useful information for their stay.
