Listing Set Up: Security deposits, Cleaning Fees & Additional Taxes

Protect your property, and ensure compliance with local regulations

When configuring rates and fees for your Houfy listing, it's crucial to set up a couple of important fees: security deposits, cleaning fees, and additional taxes. By understanding and customizing these fees, you can optimize your listing, protect your property, and ensure compliance with local regulations.

Security deposits
A key aspect of setting up rates and fees is including security deposits. These deposits act as a financial buffer against potential damages during a guest's stay. By establishing clear policies for security deposits, including the deposit amount, refund conditions, and timeline for returning the deposit, you can protect your property while providing peace of mind to your guests.

Cleaning Fees
With Houfy, you have the flexibility to specify charges associated with post-stay cleaning. Customize the cleaning fee based on the size, complexity, and specific cleaning requirements of your property. Additionally, you can indicate whether the cleaning fee is taxable or not, depending on the regulations in your jurisdiction. By transparently communicating the cleaning fee, you ensure a clean and enjoyable experience for your guests.

Additional Taxes
Apart from the base price and cleaning fee, it's crucial to consider any additional taxes that apply to your rental. These taxes may include sales tax, occupancy tax, lodging tax, or other local taxes that need to be collected and remitted to the appropriate tax agencies. Houfy provides a straightforward process to configure additional taxes, allowing you to comply with local regulations and support the community's infrastructure and tourism initiatives.
