Airbnb could be a great way to get some extra return on that rental investment.<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on your lease and local laws, you may be able to make some extra cash by renting out your apartment as an Airbnb host. There are several factors that tenants need to know before listing an apartment on Airbnb.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can I Airbnb my apartment? 5 steps to find out<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Check your local laws and zoning regulations\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many local zoning laws restrict or prohibit<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/rent.com\/blog\/3-things-to-know-about-short-term-apartment-leases\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">short-term rental<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> hosting. However, legal restrictions on Airbnb rentals are not uniform and can be confusing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, it&#8217;s illegal to rent out <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rent.com\/new-york\/new-york-apartments\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New York City apartments<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for less than 30 days unless you also occupy the property at the same time. In the case of\u00a0 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rent.com\/illinois\/chicago-apartments\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chicago rentals<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Airbnb rentals are allowed only in specific zoning districts. For<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rent.com\/california\/san-francisco-apartments\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> San Francisco properties<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, short-term rentals are restricted to a maximum of 90 days per year. Fines vary across different districts but can be as much as $1,500 for the first violation, so it&#8217;s really important to understand the rules in your specific area before signing up to be a short-term rental.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Airbnb hosts are required to register their properties in most jurisdictions. The<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.airbnb.com\/help\/article\/1376#section-heading-6\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">company&#8217;s website<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has a summary of Airbnb legal requirements for major cities, with links for additional information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-894452\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/lease_agreement.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/lease_agreement.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.rent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/lease_agreement-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/lease_agreement-1024x685.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/lease_agreement-768x514.jpg 768w\" alt=\"lease agreement\" width=\"1200\" height=\"803\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Review your rental agreement<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leases can vary widely between landlords, especially as it relates to short-term rental hosting. Go through the all-important<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rent.com\/blog\/understanding-your-apartment-lease-agreement\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lease agreement<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to figure out if you even have permission to pursue this further. Does it say anything about <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.apartmentguide.com\/blog\/tips-subletting-apartment\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">subletting<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or limiting overnight guests? Some landlords prevent guests from becoming full-time residents without signing a lease by imposing a limitation on the number of nights a guest may stay. Check all the fine print before taking the next step to Airbnb your apartment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Others may restrict renting out apartments to control noise levels and other disturbances created by short-term tenant stays. Your lease may allow renting out your apartment on Airbnb, but have a provision that requires prior written approval.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Get permission from your rental property landlord<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although some people rent on Airbnb without telling their landlord, it&#8217;s not a good idea and can <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.apartmentguide.com\/blog\/legal-reasons-for-eviction\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">get you evicted<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, not to mention any Airbnb guests on-site at the time. If neighbors complain or your landlord objects to short-term rentals, you could get into a messy situation, quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If possible, sweeten the deal by making it a win-win situation for both you and your landlord. Offer to pay higher rent or share a percentage of the money you earn from Airbnb renters. If you make money by renting out your space to additional tenants, your landlord may be amenable if they earn extra money, too<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be respectful and tell your landlord that you&#8217;re exploring the possibility of renting on Airbnb. Speak openly and gauge their openness to the idea. Be flexible, open-minded and honest with your intentions, and you might be able to get on the same page and work something out.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Understand insurance and liability requirements<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check if your current renters&#8217; insurance covers short-term rentals. Most policies don\u2019t, and you may need to purchase additional coverage or rely on Airbnb\u2019s Host Guarantee, which may not fully protect you in all situations. It&#8217;s important to be fully aware of the risks before listing your apartment.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Follow through with registration and compliance<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you receive the green light from your landlord and your lease allows Airbnb, make sure you comply with all local laws. Register your property, pay any required fees, and ensure you&#8217;re aware of tax implications. Failure to follow legal steps can lead to penalties, fines, or even eviction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-894453\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/apartment_airbnb.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/apartment_airbnb.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.rent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/apartment_airbnb-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/apartment_airbnb-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/apartment_airbnb-768x576.jpg 768w\" alt=\"Can I actually airbnb my apartment?

Fortunately, creating a listing is straightforward, thanks to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/airbnb.com\/host\/homes?from_footer=1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Airbnb\u2019s easy-to-use platform<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Start your listing<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Head to the Airbnb website and click the &#8220;Host your home&#8221; button at the top of the page. You&#8217;ll be prompted to create an account if you don\u2019t already have one, or sign in to your existing account.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-894455\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/calendar.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/calendar.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.rent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/calendar-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/calendar-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/calendar-768x513.jpg 768w\" alt=\"calendar for landlord to figure out when guests arrive and leave the short term space\" width=\"1200\" height=\"802\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Provide details about your rental\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now is the time to get specific about what your listing has to offer, so be sure to select \u201capartment&#8221; from the property type dropdown list. Next, you&#8217;ll designate the number of beds and bathrooms available to renters, as well as the exact address and any amenities, like a pool or laundry room access. Make sure you communicate with your landlord before offering shared amenities to outside renters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be sure to select any<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rent.com\/blog\/eco-friendly-amenities\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">amenities<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that apply from the list provided, so that your listing will be shown to more people. But be totally honest and accurate because a renter can cancel if they find out that an Airbnb apartment isn&#8217;t what it&#8217;s cracked up to be.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don&#8217;t forget to list other important information for potential guests to review, like local attractions, parking information, whether or not the host will provide common items like toilet paper and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Name your listing<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although they shouldn&#8217;t, people really do judge a book by its cover. So, name your Airbnb apartment listing with memorable, fun adjectives that speak to the spirit of the place and the area. This is also where you&#8217;ll insert an image of yourself looking like a welcoming host.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Paint a picture<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everyone wants to physically see images of the actual property, so at this time, you&#8217;ll add high-quality photos of all relevant rooms. Try to make them as clean and attractive as possible, especially the first three because they&#8217;ll dominate your Airbnb apartment listing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Choose booking settings<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now it&#8217;s time to get down to the nitty-gritty of booking. Airbnb has standard guest requirements, but at this point, you can add any extras that you and your landlord decided on. This includes house rules, identification requirements and so on. At this point, you can also denote other bits of info about the property, such as whether an elevator or on-site parking is available.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6. Create your calendar<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just because you&#8217;re renting out your apartment on Airbnb doesn&#8217;t mean that you have to offer it up all the time. You can opt for select dates, block off periods when relatives come to visit or leave the calendar wide open \u2014 whatever works best for you. This is also when you specify how far ahead a potential guest can book and how long they can stay.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7. Pick your price<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can set your own price points, or take advantage of the Airbnb pricing tool. This handy function updates prices as supply and demand fluctuate for similar rentals in your area. They&#8217;ll also adjust based on other factors as needed, like tourism upticks and big holidays in your area. You&#8217;ll set your own base price regardless, so make sure it&#8217;s in line with similar properties nearby.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8. Press publish<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you&#8217;re happy with the Airbnb apartment listing and are sure that it&#8217;s an accurate representation of the property, it&#8217;s time to invite the world (or maybe just a few people) in!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moving forward, make sure to clearly communicate fees, expectations and rules to renters, and keep an open dialogue with your landlord to make sure everything is satisfactory on that end, as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<h6><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This article is intended for informational purposes only and should not be considered legal advice.
