What do you do about property repairs and maintenance?
If this level of service contracted, it relieves owners from maintenance and repair hassles. We coordinate routine maintenance with services that the owners have chosen and approved. In the case of emergency repairs, we first try to contact owner approved services and whenever possible we notify owners in advance. However, in emergency situations advance notification may be impossible requiring us to proceed immediately with repairs on behalf of the owner in order to protect life and property. Maintenance and repair costs are billed directly to the owner from the service.What if something is stolen or damaged in my property?
Credit Card information is taken at the time of reservation as a security deposit. If the damaged or stolen item is minor and attributed to the guest, the owner decides whether to bill the guest's credit card. In the event of major damage, the owner's insurance would provide coverage. Regular inspection by the owners or owner's representative to ensure your property is intact and secure is highly encouraged. Why should I use Vacation Rentals 4 You for managing my vacation rental?
