The way I read the other guys texts is that he didn’t want to lie or be a part of the fraud?
The renter is basically a total stranger to you. If he knew you as we know you there would be no problem working thru this situation. Again,this renter NOT your friend,he is business.
The owner has the choice to rent through Air BNB or not and if they choose to do so they can block out any days they choose. Renting through Air BNB actually protects the property owner more than renting on your own. There is no such thing as free money and being a landlord comes with its own issues and you have to accept the issues to be in the game. Don’t like it? Dont rent your property.
Plans change and it's still his property
Cost of doing businessDon’t sign up with a property management firm.
They don’t work for free.
They make something like 1-2% of gross rent. That’s their fee.While that does seem true in most cities/ States, in this case it isn’t about renters rights so much as it is about Airbnb policy?
That’s a service that both the owner and renter uses as a mutual convenience and contract manager.
Both accept the terms.
No one has to use Airbnb, but if you do then at some point there’s going to be a service fee or penalty?
I don’t have a house listed on Airbnb, so I don’t know all the hoops. But doesn’t the majority of their take come from a % of the rent fees? Or is it mostly from service fees?
It seems that if a contract is canceled by either party then Airbnb is deprived of projected revenue?
At that point someone is paying something to them!
Thanks!
Could have voice posted like Tina did in the ultra thread!
You know what I think it’s actually 1-2% on renter side and 3% on the landlord.
That program is definitely a lot easierWhat is this AB&B thing!? I thought all you had to do was text 3 hours before you get to town, leave cash or check in drawer when you leave, and all was well!?
That’s what my friends seem to think!What is this AB&B thing!? I thought all you had to do was text 3 hours before you get to town, leave cash or check in drawer when you leave, and all was well!?
Sometimes it cost you money when your plans change after entering into an agreement. Hypothetically, Do you think he would give a full refund to the old guy if he cancelled on the owner when he had other people wanting to rent it? I don’t know either party so it’s not about either of them and again all this can be avoided by not entering into an agreement to rent your property.
Part of the reason I don’t rent to friends or family. There’s a couple people on here I trust with my key code but their shit is nicer than mine anywaysThat’s what my friends seem to think!
I let some stay a few years ago during DS while I was in Colorado working.
One friend (now ex-friend) talked me into it, supposed to be just him and his girlfriend. I really had no problem with that.
When I took a look at my living room camera I counted 8 people, 3 of whom I knew, hanging out. None of which were his girlfriend.
My garage door was wide open (I had forbidden garage access) 2 Harley’s were in my garage next to the Vette and the miller, and one stranger had his saddle bag stuff all over the bow of the Miller while he repacked his bike.
Anyone who knows me can only imagine the near heart attack that caused me.
I shut off the cameras and just tried to ignore it.
I knew he wouldn’t purposely let my shit get fucked up, but every ground rule I had asked him to follow was completely ignored.
When I got home everything was good and a few hundred bucks was on the counter.
But he kept one key. So I had to change all the locks because after he lied about everything that went on I could not trust him.
These days my real friends know the key box code and don’t even have to ask. Just let me know so the alarms don’t go off!
Wow, I plan my events way out in front, how would you feel if a hotel you booked suddenly told you, ehh, we want to use that room for someone else?
it’s easier for us to just have our own stuff and not give others an option to use it because I’m very particular.
You plan your life out a year in advance? That's kind of an unreasonable ask for anyone.Wow, I plan my events way out in front, how would you feel if a hotel you booked suddenly told you, ehh, we want to use that room for someone else?
I think it’s bullshit and I would be pissed if someone cancelled because it’s too hard for @OldSchoolBoats to plan his life in advance and now I have to take the hit?
He didnt book somewhere else to save money. OSB initiated the cancellation.
Please do avoid it. I have rented and re rented and re rented to a lot of RDP members always going owner direct so they don't have to pay the ridiculous AirBNB fees.
Absolutely, we plan our river and other trips out in advance, usually about a year because we want to be able to coordinate with our families and friends, and everyone has busy lives. Plans change, of course, But it provides a good baseline for everyone. (before anyone says, we are doing the same thing by changing plans, these are our own places and not affecting anyone else)
When my wife worked at a bank. You pick your vc times at the beginning of the year based on seniority. So yes, sometimes you are a year out.
First world problems.
This. I had to forecast PTO 14 months in advance for Years until I switched jobs in 14. I could change it, but it had to be submitted by Oct 31 for the next calendar year.
The renter can cancel for free, fucking the owner out of rent but the owner can't cancel for free to use his own house
.
Kinda funny you keep saying you're anti AirBNB but you literally have the AirBNB link on you personal Facebook page.
Only if the property owner has it set up that way. I have an Air BNB property and it’s set up that if a renter cancels less than 24 hours they don’t get any of it back, beyond that is my decision.The renter can cancel for free, fucking the owner out of rent but the owner can't cancel for free to use his own house
I thought this the whole way through my friend. This guy who is very used to financial success with money lending had to change focus into a business that will screw you every way they can before the check shows up if never. I have a retained an attorney several times to go after HOA's that cant find their check pen. All the profit gone to someone else. I refuse insurance work these days.
This is 6 months
Ya so? Don’t rent your property or rent property through AirBNB. Problem solved.
