Alertas a tener en cuenta cuando alquilas en Airbnb (Huéspedes sin evaluaciones)

    Ser anfitrión de Airbnb nunca fue una tarea fácil, debe encargarse del marketing, la comunicación y la administración de la propiedad las 24 horas del día, los 7 días de la semana ¡tú solo!. Ahora, con el alcance masivo y la popularidad de las plataformas de alquiler a corto plazo (como Airbnb, VRBO, etc.), los anfitriones han comenzado a informar públicamente sobre algunas estafas y actividades ilegales que han empezado a ocurrir. Estas son personas que se están aprovechando de los anfitriones y sus propiedades al encontrar una brecha en el sistema. La mayoría de estos estafadores son huéspedes sin evaluaciones registrados en Airbnb. Hicimos una encuesta a más de 100 súper anfitriones para traerte este blog sobre “Alertas a tener en cuenta cuando alquilas en Airbnb” para ayudarte a detectar el peligro a un kilómetro de distancia y ayudarte a tomar mejores decisiones al aceptar a un nuevo huésped.

    1. Huéspedes sin Evaluaciones

    Muchas veces te encontrarás con perfiles de huéspedes que no tienen ni una sola reseña. Llamamos a este tipo de perfiles “huésped sin evaluaciones”. Esto podría indicar que la persona está usando la plataforma por primera vez o ha creado una cuenta nueva. Se vuelve muy difícil juzgar a los huéspedes que tienen este tipo de perfiles. Lo mejor que puedes hacer aquí sería comunicarse con el huésped y solicitarle que complete su perfil, esto es especialmente necesario si no tienen fotos ni identidad verificada. Además, puedes hacerles algunas preguntas como “¿Cuál es el propósito de su visita?” o “¿Cuántas personas se quedarán?”, etc. y, según las respuestas, puedes decidir si deseas aceptar la solicitud o no.

    2. No Lee ni Sigue las Reglas y Pautas

    Hay personas que no leen ni siguen las reglas dadas por el anfitrión. Por ejemplo: reservan la propiedad para 3 personas y luego traen personas o mascotas adicionales sin previo aviso. Esto no siempre es una señal de alerta, ya que alguien podría tener algunos cambios de último minuto en su plan, pero los huéspedes que siguen cambiando de idea y siguen agregando personas o mascotas a último minuto son algo que se debe verificar previo a confirmar su estadía.

    3. Tiene Foto de Perfil Inapropiada o no tiene Foto

    De manera similar a las cuentas de “huéspedes sin evaluaciones”, si alguien no tiene fotos, o tiene fotos inapropiadas o fotos que no muestran su rostro claramente podría ser una señal de alerta. No tener foto también puede indicar que el perfil es nuevo, si ese es el caso, puedes solicitar al huésped que actualice su perfil. Si dudan en subir una foto o las fotos cargadas parecen alteradas, podría ser una señal de alerta. Debes solicitar la verificación adecuada en caso de cualquier sospecha antes de confirmar la estadía.

    4. Quiere Convencerte de Reservar Fuera de Airbnb

    Si un huésped quiere compartirte su número y está tratando de usar métodos alternativos para reservar tu anuncio de Airbnb, entonces es una gran alerta roja. Es muy importante que mantengas todos los chats y conversaciones en la aplicación de Airbnb, no solo ayuda en caso de que haya algún desperfecto en la propiedad o cualquier otro percance durante la estancia del huésped, también te ayuda a estar seguro en términos de recibir el dinero y tener prueba de la conversación en caso de que se tomen acciones legales. Llevar la conversación a otra plataforma no solo aumentará las posibilidades de que te estafen, sino que también te dejará varado sin nadie a quien poder pedir ayuda en caso de un percance.

    5. Tiene un Nombre o Correo Electrónico poco convencional

    En 2021, obtener una dirección de correo electrónico decente sin números y símbolos extraños es casi imposible. Pero a veces, los correos son muy extraños. Los correos electrónicos que usan palabras ofensivas, palabras o comentarios subidos de tono o racistas, o que son demasiado largos como si fueran generados por una computadora, podrían ser una señal de un correo electrónico falso. Esto puede ser una alerta roja ya que muchos estafadores usan correos electrónicos falsos para crear cuentas de Airbnb. Lo hacen para evitar dejar rastros de su identidad personal en caso de cualquier investigación.

    6. Utiliza Lenguaje Extraño

    Muchas veces, los estafadores ejecutan bots y se comunican con varios hosts al mismo tiempo. Les envían mensajes personalizados basados en sus anuncios usando bots de aprendizaje. Puedes identificar estos mensajes si la gramática es incorrecta o si la oración no tiene ningún sentido gramatical. Por lo general, estos bots sostienen la conversión durante unos segundos hasta que algún humano aparece. Debes tener cuidado y buscar este tipo de oraciones que suenen generadas automáticamente por un bot.

    7. Quiere Pagar su Estadía Ofreciendo un Servicio

    Si un huésped ofrece limpiar tu casa a cambio de una estadía sin dinero de por medio, o  ofrece  cualquier otro servicio a cambio de una estadía, podría ser una señal de alerta. Justamente puede que este perfil lo haya intentado hacer previamente y no haya logrado conseguir un hospedaje, y dado eso su cuenta de huésped sin evaluaciones. Las posibilidades de que esa persona se vaya sin limpiar el lugar son muy altas, y de todos modos, esta no es una buena práctica a seguir. Es muy común ser estafado en este tipo de situaciones.

    8. Asegúrate de Preguntar lo que sea Necesario 

    Si el huésped es local y se queda una noche, puedes preguntarle el motivo de visitar tu propiedad y confirmar si están de acuerdo con las políticas de tu casa. Si son de las afueras de tu ciudad y están de visita, puedes preguntarles casualmente cuáles son sus planes en la ciudad. Puedes dar algunas sugerencias útiles dependiendo de lo que quieran hacer, pero ésta pregunta también puede darte más pistas para deducir la intención del huésped.

    9. Confía tu Instinto

    A veces no necesitas ninguna “alerta roja”, si sientes malas vibras y una sensación de inquietud al entregarle tu propiedad a un huésped en base a lo que has visto previamente en su perfil y mensajes, es mejor dejar pasar a ese huésped ya que tu intuición será correcta la mayor parte del tiempo.

    Cape Town Airbnb Regulations

      Is Airbnb legal in Cape Town?

      The answer is yes! A by-law has been formally adopted by the City of Cape Town making it easier for residents to rent out their properties on Airbnb.

      Currently, there are 3,311 Airbnb listings in Cape Town, with 39,1% of entire houses earning up to $1,460 a month, 5,7% managed by professionals, and 30,4% managed independently. Apart from complete houses, Cape Town’s Airbnb offerings include 6,2% of private rooms. According to short-term rental data source Airbtics, a 2-bedroom apartment in Cape Town can make up to $14,592 each year.

      cape town airbnb regulations

      Here we will provide some useful information that can help you better understand the Cape Town Airbnb Regulation.

      Short-Term Rentals Laws
      • New city planning bylaws permit a range of homeowners to rent out their homes on a short-term basis
      • The land-use amendment allows the short-term leasing of a house or apartment for a maximum of 30 days for the same guest
      • Before the amendments, only single-family homes were eligible for short-term rentals
      • In addition to single-family homes and apartment buildings, the new rule now applies to units contained within sectional title holdings
      • The homeowner, however, must follow the conditions outlined by the body corporate or homeowners’ association
      Cape Town Airbnb Regulations
      • The City of Cape Town has adopted a bylaw that allows short-term rentals for up to 30 consecutive days from the same guest/traveler.
      • Zoning is meaningless. The term “Airbnb” refers to “transient visitors,” and it has nothing to do with guest houses, bed and breakfasts, or hotels. It makes no difference whether your property is zoned Single Residential 1 or 2, or General Residential 1 or 2.
      • If the conduct regulations of a Sectional Scheme need it or if the Constitution of an HOA governs the property, authorization from a Body Corporate may still be required.

      The initial cost of starting Airbnb in Cape Town

      Having an Airbnb listing can be a good way to make extra money, but being a host comes with its own set of problems. Offering a short-term rental comes with several expenses. It may affect your mortgage, as well as taxes and cleaning fees.
      It is a good idea to consider all these prospective costs and real estate variables before diving in. We’ll go over some of the most typical and surprising expenditures associated with being an Airbnb host, such as:

      Airbnb service fees

      Airbnb hosts share the first cost you might expect. Once you get a reservation, Airbnb charges a 3% service fee. This may not seem like much, but if you rent your house on Airbnb many times a year, this cost can add up.

      Supplies Needed

      Your rented property will need fresh bedding, towels, linens, toilet paper, soap, and other amenities. To make your rental feel more like home, you’ll want to stock the fridge and pantry with at least a few foodstuffs.

      It’s a good idea to secure your property with external cameras such as a video doorbell and hardwired or Wi-Fi weatherproof exterior cameras. Installing four higher-quality video cameras will set you back roughly $1,200.

      Cleaning expenses

      Cleaning is, of course, required when renting your house on Airbnb. While cleaning supplies are inexpensive, expect to spend several hours cleaning, vacuuming, mopping, and tidying up. You’ll need to use a cleaning service if you don’t want to do the work or won’t be available to do it. Each cleaning session might cost you more than $200.

      You can pass these costs on to your guests in the form of an increased rental price or by adding a separate cleaning fee to your rental listing.

      Insurance protection

      Insurance coverage is the most expensive component of renting your house on Airbnb. You may be able to rent your house without having to buy extra coverage or incur extra costs if you have existing home insurance. But, you must notify your insurer in advance and get approval. For an extra fee, you may need to add a rider or endorsement to your existing policy.

      The Airbnb Host Guarantee covers you for up to $1 million in damages to your home caused by your visitors (besides the security deposit). Yet, this coverage isn’t comprehensive. Wear and tear, personal liabilities, jewels, securities, cash, pets, collectibles, and rare artwork are all excluded.

      Expenses of starting a business

      For tax advantages, some experts tell incorporating your company. You may be able to protect your assets if sued by forming a corporation or limited liability company (LLC) as well as receive tax benefits from doing so.
      But, depending on the state you live in, the charges of incorporating might be quite significant.

      Mortgage expense

      If you plan to refinance your home’s mortgage, renting out your home via Airbnb may cost you money. Because of this, your rental income may not be taken into account when refinancing your home. This would have an impact on your debt-to-income ratio, which could lead to a higher interest rate on your new loan.

      Pros and Cons of running Airbnb in Cape Town

      Short-term rentals are vacation rental properties rented out on a short-term basis to guests, like hotels.  This form of rental helps guests to feel more at ease and “at home” because the properties are typically designed in this manner.

      A long-term rental is the most common sort of rental property utilized for residential purposes. This sort of rental property is usually protected by a long-term lease agreement with more binding terms than a short-term rental. Renting out their homes for a higher price than their mortgage allows them to generate regular income regardless of the market. Because it is more traditional and well-known, most people are more familiar with this sort of rental property.

            Pros and Cons of running Airbnb in Calgary

            Short-term rentals are vacation rental properties rented out on a short-term basis to guests, like hotels.  This form of rental helps guests to feel more at ease and “at home” because the properties are typically designed in this manner.

            A long-term rental is the most common sort of rental property utilized for residential purposes. This sort of rental property is usually protected by a long-term lease agreement with more binding terms than a short-term rental. Renting out their homes for a higher price than their mortgage allows them to generate regular income regardless of the market. Because it is more traditional and well-known, most people are more familiar with this sort of rental property.
