For those who believe they can manage the keys by themselves, here are several problems that can arise when guests try to get the keys from the host when renting a holiday home.
Coordinating with the guest to hand over the keys is a hassle if they’re arriving late at night or early in the morning. You may have to wait for the guest to arrive or make special arrangements to give the keys.
If the keys are lost or stolen, it can be difficult to get a replacement set. Foreign guests may not have a clue about what to do or may call a locksmith who will destroy the door to open it.
There's often room for miscommunication with the guests regarding the location of the keys, the time of arrival, or other details. This can lead to delays and frustration for both parties.
If the host is not available to meet you in person, you may have to arrange for someone else to pick up the keys on your behalf. This can be inconvenient and may limit your flexibility in terms of when you can check in and out.
Is your property really safe? If the keys are left in an unsecured location, such as under a doormat or in a flowerpot, it can pose a safety risk for both the renter and the host. Burglars may be able to easily access the property and steal valuables.
