Clear house rules are the secret weapon of top-performing short-term rental hosts. If you've dealt with noise complaints, surprise parties, or property damage, unclear rules may be the culprit. In this episode, we're sharing the 21 updated house rules we use to manage thousands of guests—plus how to implement them effectively.

• Discover the #1 rule every host should have in place—especially for direct bookings
• How to handle local guests and underage bookings without breaking discrimination rules
• What to include in your smoking, pet, and party policies to avoid headaches later
• How to protect your rental income from late checkouts and excessive mess
• Why mid-term stays require a whole different set of rules (and what most hosts miss)
