That is a holiday area problem!

Many owners feel that they do not use to use Don’trelet as their investment property is not in a holiday region, it may not have access to beaches, or ski resorts, however this a common misconception and helps tenants avoid detection. In fact, many properties that are released or sublet are in major cities, where accommodation is already expensive or limited. The draw card for your tenant who will become the host, is that they can often earn most of the rent that they pay you in a few days. Tenants will advertise your property for short term stays without the owner’s consent or knowledge and can recoup a large portion of their rent in a few nights. The reason so many tenants feel brave enough to try this is that they correctly assume that owners who own rentals in cities or urban areas, will not consider that these are being released to others and therefore won’t check. Don’trelet takes the hassle out of checking if your property is being offered as short-term rental and instead of owners spending hours searching the internet, Don’trelet searches for you and will alert you when your property is being listed for rent or short-term stays. This saves owners and agents hours and hours of time, trawling websites, and social media pages to see if their property is being listed on anyone of the 100’s of sites that lists accommodation. Furthermore, Tenants often go to great lengths to hide the property from detection, going so far as changing names of properties including your signs and hiding the exact location of the property. It is difficult to spot your property online because the person creating the listing might not have photos that have beien used by real estate agents, instead they are making sure that the lighting and angle are slightly different so that they do not arouse suspicion. At Don’trelet we compare your photos and tenants’ photos and try to match up details such a view, and distinctive features to find if your property is being relisted.
