PROPERTY OWNERS
Q: By advertising on your site(s), can you guarantee my property will get rented?
A: No. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee your property will get rented because each renter has varying budgets and requirements. While a corporate event planner might need high square footage for entertaining over 250 guests, a small group of sports fans may have a tight budget and don’t need anything more than a few bedrooms to relax in.
Q: How do I choose a realistic daily rental price?
A: This is one of the hardest, yet most important, decisions you’ll have to make when renting your property out for an event. Compare your property to a three to four-star hotel, and the total occupancy your property could accommodate. If you offer extra services like housekeeping, catering or transportation, you should reflect this in your rental price. Another important factor is proximity to the event venue. If you’re within 1 mile of the event, renters are expecting to pay a premium on this convenience. If you have any questions, we are happy to advise you on this price. Once listed, you have complete control over the listed rental price, and can change it at any time. You are always welcome to contact us for Free rental price advice!
Q: Do you charge commission off the rental price?
A: Never. We only charge a flat rate fee for advertising on our site at registration. We offer an additional premium placement service for property owners, but this is completely optional. Your advertising fee goes directly into our worldwide advertising of properties for rent during major sporting events. You receive 100% of your agreed rental price from renters.
Q: Do you offer a discount if I list 5 or more properties with you?
A: No. The majority of your advertising fee goes directly into advertising our worldwide advertising program. We do make exceptions if you have over 25 properties to rent for a single event. Contact us for more information.
Q: This is the first time I am renting my house out for an event, what legal documentation do I need?
A: We have a short-term rental agreement you may use and ammend, Free of charge. We do recommend visiting your solicitor/lawyer for local tax and rental laws in your area.
Q: I don’t see the sporting event on your website I’d like to advertise for. What other events will you be taking properties for?
A: We are constantly adding new events to our website, and appreciate all suggestions by property owners and renters alike. Please contact us with your ideas and suggestions!
Q: How long will my ad run on your website(s) for?
A: Your advertisement will appear on the website(s) you choose after registering until the property has rented, or until the beginning of the sporting event. While we do not require home owners to notify us when their property is rented, we greatly appreciate notification so we can measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns.
Q: I don't have a digital camera, can I post/mail you photos for my listing?
A: Yes, we can scan any photos you send to us. We do require a service charge for scanning photos. Scanning services also includes photo optimisation by our graphic designer, so your property photos look fantastic to viewers. For a full list of services, pricing and postal address, click on the "Private Home Rentals" link under "Advertise Today."
Q: Do I have to remove all my belongings during a rental?
A: No. Renters know they're staying in a private home, but will expect a closet or set of drawers for their clothes. If you have a spare large storage room, closet or bedroom, consider allocating it for your personal belongings and lock the door during the rental. Then you can keep anything you do not want broken, stolen or damaged.
Q: Do you share my property and contact information with a 3rd party?
A: We NEVER share your contact information with anyone. Our parent company, Leinsternet Ltd is based in the United Kingdom, and will only provide information for the HM Revenue & Customs office under a court order. You have the option of including your telephone and mobile numbers in your listing, but this is not required.
RENTERS
Q: I’ve found a property I’d like to rent. Who do I contact?
A: All rental transactions take place between the property owner and renter. Please contact the property owner directly using the enquiry form on their property page.
Q: How do I know if the property is real? I don’t want to send money over to a fraudulent property owner.
A: We understand this is a major concern of all renters looking for accommodation abroad. To validate that the property owner is real , you can contact their bank manager or lawyer/solicitor as a reference. Before sending over any deposit or rent, have your lawyer/solicitor review your rental contract, and have them signed before transferring any money to the property owner.
