AIrbnb booking to lease request.

[Steve Garcia]

Hi! I recently received my first booking on Airbnb for a 31 day stay. The guest is relocating from out of state and is currently in the market to buy a home. That being said they want to extend their stay with a lease agreement and not through Airbnb. I imagine this route is more cost effective to avoid paying the platform fee. Does anyone have experience with this? My current thought process is to create a month-to-month lease with a security deposit. Should the potential tenant be vetted in addition to the vetting Airbnb does for guests?

I'd still do a background check or income verification of some sort. When we put our house up for Mid-Term in the off season, we always have the tenant fill out a verification application. 

There are a million different website that can do it for you including zillow, rentredi, etc.

Hope this helps!
