Do you have a signed rental agreement for every long stay booked on Airbnb?

Yes, always.

Sometimes, but it’s not consistent.

Never—I didn’t know this was necessary!

How do you verify your guest’s identity before they check in?

I collect a government-issued ID and require a selfie.

I trust Airbnb’s built-in verification process.

I don’t verify guests; I rely on reviews.

Do you collect a security deposit for your bookings?

Yes, every time.

Only for direct bookings.

I’ve never thought about it—doesn’t Airbnb handle this through Aircover?

How do you manage the booking and onboarding process for long-stay guests?

I use a property management system that automates agreements, IDs, and deposits.

I manually handle it all.

I just use Airbnb’s standard system.

I don't use Airbnb at all

What’s your biggest challenge with long-stay guests?

Handling contracts, IDs, and deposits

Attracting the right guests / Avoiding bad ones

Ensuring my property is ready for longer stays.
