Scottsdale vacation rentals by owner: what to check.

Your checklist

• •City license: all Scottsdale properties offered for under 30 days need one. See Scottsdale vacation rental rules.
• •Total price: nightly rate, cleaning, taxes and any other fees, in writing.
• •Cancellation: what you get back, and by what date.
• •Guest count: confirm the maximum and whether every bed is a real bed. See a rental for 12.
• •House rules: quiet hours, visitors and parking.
• •A contact: who you call if something breaks at 9pm.

Red flags

• •Wire transfers: be wary of any request for a wire, gift cards or cryptocurrency.
• •Pressure: a host who rushes you past the questions above.
• •No paperwork: no written agreement or terms before you pay.
• •Too good a price: well below similar homes on the same dates.
