Are you ready to rent out your home on a short-term basis with
Airbnb
? A great opportunity to earn extra income while being 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 .

Get an insurance !


Airbnb
has an insurance program to protect guests. This covers civil liability up to around €800 ,000 per claim. And this, in the event of lawsuits brought by tenants for bodily injury or property damage during their stays with
Airbnb
. However, the sign doesn ‘t protect you from any damage to your home (wine spills, breakage, theft…), so think carefully about taking out adequate insurance.

Technology

for safety

An access control system lets you give your guests dematerialized access to your home via smartphone. This avoids the need to give out physical keys that can be easily copied or lost. Using an application, the badge is transferred to your guests in a single click, and as soon as they leave, you can easily cancel access, wherever you are in the world. This is an ideal secure solution for Airbnb hosts wishing to control multiple properties easily.


Welcomr
is an example of an application that can manage 100% dematerialized and secure access control.

Do away with existing badges, keys and access cards, and control secure access to your home!

Your identity away

from wrong people

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 implementing cyber-filtering, a set of techniques that restrict access to certain sites normally accessible on the Internet and censor your confidential data.

Finally, if your guest rents your entire home, consider keeping or forwarding your e-mail to another trusted address. A simple safety measure!
