Hey peeps! I’m a current Airbnb host, so I am familiar with the ins and outs of renting out my space, but I am new to event / meeting space rentals and the demands that come with it. Also, and this is just an initial impression, but I feel the Airbnb platform is a little more controlled / structured where here it seems more open / free.
So in going over my current house rules for my property for Airbnb and writing my rules for this platform, I am not sure what I should include / exclude for my listing here (it’s the same property). Can anyone please share a template or even just some sample rules? Or what are some things I should be sure to touch on or cover in my house rules?
We deal more on the production side, but here is an example of the house rules for one of our houses:
We very much enjoy sharing our home for productions, however, we do require a few rules to protect our beautiful home:
-Please be prepared with tennis balls for the bottom of stands to protect the floors.
-Please do not place equipment on hard surfaces (dining table, kitchen counters) without a furniture pad or protection laid down first.
-Camera tripods must have rubber feet. Tripods with exposed metal feet will not be allowed in the house without proper protection.
-Please ask before adhering anything to walls - be prepared with paper or painters tape, no gaffers tape or duct tape on interior or exterior walls.
-You may move furniture and objects, but please put back in original location.
-If it requires using a tool to remove, or opening a cabinet or a drawer, please ask first.
*For crews over 15, we do require a Portable Toilet be rented for a second bathroom (we can provide suggestions, typically less than $100/day)
-No smoking on the property.
-No animals allowed without prior approval.
-Alcohol must be consumed responsibly.
-No Personal Parties.
As you can see, some of these are specific to this property. This house only has one bathroom so we require a portable to be brought in for larger crews.
Also, this list gets longer as new issues come up, but this covers the basics. We just want to minimize damage and the wear and tear on our homes.
