Asking for IDs for all renters per stay.....good or bad?

Shannon Green
Posted

We have an STR beach home in South Padre Island. We recently had a large group; larger than what was allowed, stay at our home and their behavior was unacceptable. We found out that one of the kids mother's rented the house and was never on site. It was a bunch of young, underage kids, doing dangerous things.
Question for everyone:  we use VRBO.  How do you handle preventing this?  We have changed our language to state the the person renting must be at least 25 and MUST be present during the entire stay.  We would like to request ID's before renting for everyone staying....just a thought.  Is anyone doing this?  We have a local manager that can check ID's upon arrival.  What are your thoughts?  Any advice would be appreciated.

This is overkill. I have cameras to keep this from happening or stop it if it does start to happen.
