A page you can share.
Each published listing has its own page. Send the link wherever your guests find you.
Every listing, one calendar.
See confirmed stays, stays awaiting payment, requests and blocked dates together.
Turnovers you won’t forget.
A turnover follows every check-out. Mark it ready when the place is.
No account needed for guests.

Before you host.
Anything else? Ask RentRight.
Do I need a separate account to host?

Do guests need a RentRight account?
No. Guests open your listing’s public page, ask a question or send a booking request with their name, email and phone.
Are bookings confirmed automatically?
No. A guest sends a booking request and you review it in RentRight before the stay goes ahead.
What happens to my rental records?
Nothing changes. Your properties, tenants and rent records stay exactly as they are.
What if I turn Shortlets off?
Your listings, bookings and guest messages are kept. Turning it back on brings them back.
