Spring Travel Tip #1: Ensure guest safety indoors.
Spring is here which means travel season is about to begin! If you’re an Airbnb or Vrbo owner and you plan to host, it’s important to protect yourself and renters. A clean, well-maintained rental secures glowing reviews and reduces the risk of on-site injuries.
Ensure a safe indoor environment:
- Fix known hazards like broken or damaged steps and uneven flooring
- Ensure hand railings are in place and secure on all stairways
- Properly illuminate all stairways
- Clear obstructions from all walking paths
- Repair any loose, falling, or damaged ceilings, ceiling fans, and overhead lights
- Replace any broken or damaged furniture
- Provide no-slip mats in the bathroom/shower
- Hire a professional to perform a routine safety inspection to catch any potential HVAC or electric issues
- Double check that all carbon monoxide and smoke alarms are functioning properly
Safety should also be the number one priority.
