Secure entrances and windows

Install quality locks on all access points, including doors and windows. Consider using deadbolts or smart locks for added security. Check and maintain locks regularly to ensure they are working properly.

Adequate lighting

Make sure your property is well lit, both inside and out. Proper lighting helps prevent accidents and deters potential intruders. Install motion sensor lights near entrances and in areas of low visibility.

Fire safety equipment

Install smoke alarms in every bedroom and on every floor of your home. Test them regularly to ensure they are working properly and replace the batteries if necessary. Place fire extinguishers in easily accessible locations, such as the kitchen and near fire-prone areas.

Security cameras

Consider installing security cameras in common areas or at the entrance to the property to deter potential theft or misbehaviour. Inform guests of the presence of cameras in your listing description and comply with privacy laws and regulations.

Emergency information

Provide guests with an information sheet or welcome guide that includes emergency contact numbers for local authorities, hospitals and fire services. Include clear instructions on what to do in the event of an emergency, such as a natural disaster or medical incident.

Secure storage for valuables

Consider providing a secure storage area, such as a safe or lockable drawer, where guests can store their valuables. This provides peace of mind and helps prevent theft or loss.

Guest screening

Use Airbnb’s guest screening tools to vet potential guests before accepting reservations. Review their profiles, reviews and communication history to ensure they have a positive track record.

Regular property inspections

Conduct regular inspections of your property to identify any safety hazards or maintenance issues. Look for things like faulty electrical sockets, loose handrails or tripping hazards; address and rectify any problems promptly.

Clear house rules

Establish clear house rules that prioritise safety, such as no smoking, no parties or no unauthorised guests. Communicate these rules to guests before they arrive and include them in your listing description and house manual.

Privacy and data security

Respect your guests’ privacy and handle their personal information with care. Protect any guest data you collect, such as contact information or identification documents, in accordance with data protection laws.

Emergency Preparedness

Create an emergency plan for your property and communicate it to guests. Include information on emergency exits, location of fire extinguishers and any special safety procedures they should follow.

Regular maintenance

Stay proactive with property maintenance to ensure the safety and functionality of facilities and equipment. Regularly check and service heating, cooling, electrical and plumbing systems.

By implementing these safety measures, you can help protect your guests and create a positive experience during their stay at your short-stay rental property.
