For those who are only hosting for a few weeks a year , doing it on your own is manageable . However , most hosts are better off letting a reputable management company run their short-term rentals for them . If they are good , they will make up for their commission through higher earnings , time saved and a well-maintained property .

There are three levels of security that these companies can offer – vetting guests when they book ; managing them while they are on the property ; and conducting exit inspections to detect damages and , if needed , claim from guests .
