For Owners of Short Term Rentals

Help the community and help yourself by reducing the risk of harm. A guest who sues the community will sue the property owner first.

Here are some tips to reduce the chance of harm to the renter, property, and community, gleaned from various sources:

  • Get a copy of Dan’s liability waiver here.
  • Give your guests a gate remote, not your code. If you give them a code, you are giving them perpetual access to CHE under your name for the price of one night’s rent.
  • Establish a land phone line to enable 911 emergency calls. Many people won’t have good cell phone reception here and may have trouble describing where they are during an emergency.
  • Don’t offer any outdoor fire pit or anything that encourages them to make a camp fire. Post notice of any seasonal fire restrictions.
  • Most short term rental sites allow you to check the reputation of the renter. See if other property owners lodged complaints about a renter before you give them free run of your house.
  • Consider installing a loud noise detector in the house.
