Let’s dive right in. In the short term rental riches will discuss investing in real estate with a specific focus on short term rentals quick action items to wire. Scale your portfolio I’m your host Tim Hubbard.
So I’m finance lots of times if we can kick a guest out of our property now are you Sir we’re not literally gonna kick against Dow but can we call the authorities get someone removed from our property short answer is yes but it’s not that simple so we’re gonna break down the steps you should take if you have a bad bad guess your property that shouldn’t be there the best course of action to take so things go as smoothly as possible and also so that you know in your team knows how to handle a situation like this so the first thing we can do to prevent having to kick someone out of our property as always is just take the correct preemptive measures and this really is the same thing we do for any issue when tested with a gas and and we want to make sure all of our house rules are as clear as possible no smoking no parties a certain amount of gas so these house rules are essentially a contract between our property and our guest now we can take this a step further and have an actual rental agreement that we sent out to gas we do this for all of our listings outside of Airbnb because they don’t quite have the protection that Airbnb offers so we will send out our own rental agreement to make sure that everyone’s a green to these rules so that’s the first step is making sure that our guests know what they can and cannot do in our properties so so when we have all those steps in place I guess a good question is you know is this gonna happen you are you going to have to kick out of gas well. The problem with. If you’re in this for the long run and you add lots and lots of properties eventually sadly I hate to be the one to say it but you are probably gonna have to kick us out or at least ask a guest involve authorities at some point we had to do this more than our fair share of times I would say Kovin if you were running your short term properties during cove and when all that happened it was pretty challenging dealing with the different gas coming in in different you know lots of parties and things like that but we figured it out we put new processes in place and now we’re good to go and keep on growing keep on scale and so we have had to call the authorities for parties and if an officer police officer shows up and there’s a big party there will then that’s pretty obvious and they’re going to help at least get everyone out off of the property but it’s not always super clear for the authorities if they can kick someone out of a property the short answer is yes they can because if they’re staying less than 30 days in most places your gas are not considered tenants so they don’t have resident rights they’re not a resident of your property there short term gas and if they’re breaking your rental agreement then you have the right to have them removed from your property so you’ll want to have this rental agreement or the contract or the place where your gas accepted or acknowledged your house rules this could be your Airbnb reservation that has it listed you want to have this to show the authorities to say Hey look they’re breaking our house rules it clearly says 2 people they had 12 hopefully you caught him before that and I don’t want to freak everyone out because this isn’t something that happens very often it doesn’t happen very rarely actually if we take the proper measures so it could be that the author. Thirties or the police officers don’t quite understand the rules so initially they may not want to kick someone off the property and if someone wasn’t breaking the house rules then they can’t really kick him off the property and we want to make sure that whatever reason we brought up the reason we call the authorities isn’t going against Airbnb is discrimination policy and that the reason we’re asking our guests leave the property is properly justified but as long as it is and we have our contract in place we can show that to the authorities and we need to just be firm with it until we can get those gas out so the first step as always is is having preemptive measures before we involve the authorities of course we want to notify the gas and involved Airbnb so notify the gas of the rules give them the chance to rectify whatever’s gone wrong if they don’t then you want to involve Airbnb as soon as possible tell them what’s going on and then if they can’t fix the problem with the gas as soon as possible then that’s when he called authorities so this isn’t gonna happen very often but the short answer is yes we can let’s just make sure we have a rental agreements as evidence as proof that our guests are breaking the contract and because they’re not residents at least here in the US and in most places there are gas and we can have them removed from the property so where does it happen to you too often but just know that it is something you can do because you’re doing really well out there where we are in the world and I hope you have a wonderful week the next there’s so much money to be made the short term rentals but it all starts by having the right property if you guys haven’t yet seen my free ebook on our website rest methods.com head over there and get a copy it’s going to break down.
