If your\r\nproperty is located in the residential area, most probably one of our struggles\r\nmight be ensuring the health and vibrant relationship between tourists and\r\nresidents.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Although it\r\nmight seem like an obstacle we believe that it is possible to create a positive\r\ncoexistence, where your guests can become a part of the local community based\r\non mutual respect and responsible hosting.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
To provide this\r\nkind of relationship, you – as a host, are responsible for how your business\r\nwill affect the life of the neighbourhood, where it is located.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
With that said, in this article, we have created a guideline for a good neighbour coexistence.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
1- Make sure that the vacation rental is legal and licensed to prevent any misunderstanding and unwanted problems<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Every city has its regulations regarding short term rentals. You must make your business legal, according to the laws of your location. Making sure that the regulations are being met, will allow your guests to feel welcomed and your neighbours to be tolerant toward your business.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n 2- Make guest aware that your property is in the residential area<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n As we have\r\nmentioned before, it is your responsibility, as an owner, to make the\r\ntravellers aware of the space they will be staying. Even before the check-in,\r\nwhen you send a welcome or information email, you can use this chance to\r\nintroduce your guests to the are where they will be located. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Let them know that they share a unique space with the local community, and for that reason, it is important to respect each other and the location that they live in during the holidays. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n 3- Create Vacation Rental rules<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Every tourist\r\naccommodation should have some rules. Making them written and printed out and\r\nsigned by the guest on the check-in is a standard process. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n In such rules,\r\nyou can include:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Depending on\r\nthe building and your neighbour community needs you can add more rules, which\r\nyou need to make sure are being known and respected by the guests.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n If your property is certified by WeRespect<\/strong><\/a>, this point will be completed by placing on it the environmental and neighbour\u2019 coexistance commitment labels. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n 4- Respecting the neighbour’s rest<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Usually, the\r\ntime where it is well seen to not make lots of noise is between 10 p.m. and 8\r\na.m. It is the time when most of the people take a rest and sleep. If you want\r\nto protect your property from any noise misunderstandings, you can opt for\r\ninstalling the Noise Alarm<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n This device\r\nwill give you notifications in case the level of noise in your short term\r\nrental is over the accepted level and permit to react before the problem will\r\ndevelop.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
