There are no fees, charges or hidden costs whatsoever for allowing Guestscapes to lease your property. We sign a 6 or 12 month lease and provide a deposit, just as any other tenant would. What are some advantages to working with Guestscapes? First, we offer free keyless entry so that only property owners have a key to their property. This also ensures that guests have access only for the nights they’re booked to stay. Secondly, after every guest, your property is cleaned to the highest standards by a professional cleaning company. Additionally, we can provide references from other happy property owners, a deposit, and first and last month’s rent, if needed.
How can I be sure my home is safe?
Each renter must present a government-issued photo ID and credit card before they’re granted access to the property. We also take security deposits to ensure that all parties are sufficiently protected and each location is guaranteed by an extensive short-term rental insurance policy.
