What to know before you rent your home on airbnb

11/15/2019

 
Whether you have extra space you’re looking to capitalize on or you have a second home you don’t want sitting vacant, a short-term rental site, such as AirBNB or VRBO, can be a good solution. However, it’s not a post and go situation. Do your research to ensure you are within local codes and are keeping yourself, and your home, safe.

Here are 5 things you need to know before renting your home out on a short-term site:

Discover the laws

From city to city the laws regarding short-term rentals can change. Before you list a property do your due diligence to ensure you’re staying inside the law. If the property is in an HOA, you will need permission from them as well. The sites you use to list homes for short-term renting won’t tell you the laws for your area. Recently, some communities or cities have required homeowners to be licensed as a bed and breakfast in order to use their home as a short-term rental. Research your local zoning and ordinances to make sure you won’t end up being fined and losing your profit.
