( Frequently asked questions )

Answers to Your Questions

Discover the advantage of booking with a local agency that prioritizes property integrity, transparent pricing, and personalized service for every guest.

What happens if a guest damages my property?

We document everything, claim the damage from the guest’s deposit, and handle the entire process. You are kept informed but never need to intervene.

Can I use my own cleaners?

Yes, if you have preferred cleaning partners, we can coordinate with them to maintain your standards and schedule.

How are cleaning costs handled?

Cleaning costs are built into the guest booking fee, so you are not charged separately.

Do you inspect every property after each stay?

Absolutely. Every property is inspected and documented before new guests arrive.

How large are the guest deposits?

Deposits vary by property value and length of stay but typically range from CAD500 to CAD1,000.

What if a guest refuses to pay for damages?

Because deposits are collected upfront, we can immediately recover costs. For larger issues, we assist in insurance or platform claim processes.
