The short rent is a type of lease characterized by a duration of less than 30 days. This type of contract is possible everywhere, even if there are different regional regulations from region to region. For this reason, the Estay Team will support you at 360 degrees, assisting you from all points of view: bureaucratic, operational, administrative, etc. By entrusting your property to Estay you will have the opportunity to make a growing profit from your properties, in a safe and flexible way!

Renting a property for short periods is convenient for all those who own a property in a place of tourist importance: houses by the sea, historic centers, lakeside and mountain villages, historic villages, etc. In these contexts it is possible to predict that there will not be a great housing demand, deriving from the charm of the place where the property is located.

• you own a second home in a tourist area, and use it a few days a year.
• you have made a real estate investment and would like to make an income immediately.
• you own a property that you rarely use and would like it to give you an income when you are not present.
• you own a property and it is your intention to sell it in the near future. By availing yourself of the Estay management you will not have to be bound by the terms and constraints of traditional leases.
• you will be leaving your home for a relatively long period of time and it is not your intention to leave it empty and without anyone checking it regularly. With Estay management, there will always be someone who will check your property after each checkout.
• you own a property that is difficult to rent and would still like it to generate income for you.

Short-term rentals have 3 main advantages.

Obviously YES. The short rent is in fact considered an "non-entrepreneurial" activity. Authorization procedures vary from region to region, but we are here to assist you with everything!

If you are a private individual, the flat rate tax of 21% is applied to profits from short-term rentals at the time of filing the tax return. This aspect is also covered by our service package, we will take care of paying the taxes on your behalf, and once done we will send you the receipt of the payment. Your bank account will then only receive the net earnings you are entitled to!

Estay offers 2 types of service:

• Estay Elite, the complete service package of Estay. With this formula, you will literally leave your property in the hands of Estay who will take care of everything: from home staging to creating ads. From the pricing policy to welcoming guests. From cleaning to maintenance management. You can't ask for anything better, can you ?!
• Estay Essential, the package that only provides for the management of remotely fulfilled activities: initial bureaucratic procedures, creation of advertisements, revenue management, management of collections, payment of taxes.

The cost of the Estay management depends on the package you have chosen. Both Estay service packages have a percentage cost, i.e. Estay will deduct a percentage from the revenues of your property, therefore you will not have any fixed or initial cost. This formula is also a guarantee of professionalism and punctuality in the management of your property, in short, the more you earn, the more Estay earns. The Estay Elite package has a cost of 23% + VAT on the revenues generated by your property. The Estay Essential package has a cost of 10% + VAT on the revenues generated by your property.

The home staging service is an aspect of fundamental importance, and for this reason we believe that it too should be paid a lot of attention. Home staging is nothing more than a photographic technique combined with careful interior design, aimed at making your home visually very attractive to potential customers. To this end, we rely on a selection of professional interior photographers who will be able to create a photographic set capable of making your structure shine with its own light. The service is completely free for those who choose the complete management package, while it costs € 200.00 for those who opt for the Estay Essential service. Remember that a Home staging service can cost on average € 400.00, but Estay, thanks to its network of professionals, makes use of advantageous rates established by contract.

Estay takes care of it! The laundry service is included (Estay Elite package), it will be our care to provide a set of linen that is always clean and sanitized for guests. I set are of very good quality, like those of the best hotels.

Our operators will take care of your reviews on all the booking portals where your property is enlisted.

Estay will take care of all those small ordinary maintenance necessary to ensure that your home is always 100% efficient.

The cleaning of the property is always paid by the guests, and their amount varies according to the type of property you are making available. Remember, cleaning is always executed at the end of each stay!

The rate is variable based on numerous factors, such as:

• the size of your property
• the location
• its general condition
• its features
• the services close to it
• etc.

Of course! Our contract has a minimum duration of 365 days, then it renews automatically! The owner of the house, however, always has the possibility to end it with due notice of course.

• 1 key will be given to guests
• 1 key will be entrusted to the reception team
• key will be in the availability of the cleaning team

We must first state that all users profiles on the portals we use have reviews, and it is therefore easy to understand who is potentially a good customer and who is not. Estay, to protect you even more, also does the following activities:

• We require a security deposit for each stay, and also a credit card as a guarantee.
• In the event of accidents, we know the procedures for requesting compensation from the booking platforms, which have very high coverage limits.
• We have a specific Estay insurance agreement, which includes accidental damage caused by guests.

No, these insurances are not a substitute for the civil liability insurance policy, established by Estay. Such insurance coverage must in any case be provided by the owner, even if we recommend that you take out the agreed policy. The guarantees of the booking platforms often do not cover:

• damagescaused by pets
• civil liability
• damages in common or shared areas
• cash and other financial assets

Therefore, we recommend you to contact us to find out more about our agreements with the main national insurance institutions. We always have the perfect insurance policy for your needs.
