How to Protect Your Rental from Problem Guests
Not every guest will treat your property with care. Here's how to filter for quality guests before they arrive:
Ask for official ID
Request a photo of a government-issued document. It confirms identity and age, and it deters guests who are planning to cause problems.
Make them sign the house rules
Send your rental conditions before booking and ask guests to sign them. Good guests won't hesitate. Anyone who pushes back is telling you something.
Require a security deposit
A meaningful deposit makes guests think twice before damaging the property. It also filters out guests who aren't serious about the booking.
Collect payment in full before check-out
Always collect the full amount before guests leave. Avoid payment methods that are vulnerable to fraud or disputes.
Get rental insurance
Even with all the right precautions, things happen. A good rental insurance policy means you're covered when they do.
Grupo Select handles guest screening, property maintenance, and bookings so you don't have to manage any of this yourself.
