KEY TAKEAWAYS
-
When renting out properties for short-term stays, it's crucial to consider the impact on neighbors. Noise, disturbances, and frequent visitors can lead to complaints and issues with neighbors.
-
Some properties have lease restrictions that prohibit short-term rentals like Airbnb. It's important to review the lease agreement to ensure compliance with any restrictions.
-
Maintaining good communication with neighbors can help address any concerns they may have regarding short-term rentals. Apologizing for any disturbances and offering solutions can help mitigate issues.
-
Meeting guests personally for check-ins can help manage the arrival process and ensure guests understand the rules and expectations for their stay.
-
Taking steps to minimize disruptions, such as noise, excessive foot traffic, and disturbances, can help maintain a positive relationship with neighbors and prevent complaints.
BEST MOMENTS
"I've been doing Airbnbs now for landlords in London since 2009. So many, many, many years. And what we've learned is you never want to rent out the property for one or two nights, because then you're going to get the troublemakers. And obviously that's going to disturb the neighbors. So we do like a three night minimum, which kind of puts off people renting it for just one night, loud music."
"Someone like Airbnb could maybe penalize your listing and kind of drop it down so that perhaps people can't even find it."
"The ideal apartment to have is an apartment in a building with a lift, but that's not always the case because some of these properties are Georgian, Victorian properties, or new builds, and sometimes they don't have lifts. So ideally, the ground floor is the best kind of level to have where there are hardly any stairs at all."
