I've got a small studio in a high-rise here in the Philippines that I was advised to rent out on Airbnb (I wouldn't be interacting with the guests). I'm quite new to hosting, so I was hoping to ask for some help with screening potential tenants. I got my first inquiry today, from someone who is hoping to stay there for a week. What sort of questions should I ask any prospective tenant? Since Airbnb has tenants pre-pay, is income still an important factor? For tenants with no Airbnb reviews/references/etc, how do I further vet them? This guy has no profile picture, and his message to me said nothing but "I chek in date of June 19 at 7 am and check out June 25 at 7 am should not you?". That's literally the entire message. Should I just give him a flat out no, or is this a reasonable message to get from someone who might not be fluent in English? Argue fucked around with this message at 06:13 on May 3, 2014 |

Yeah, I didn't want to approve that guy since all I knew about him was that one sentence he sent me. I figured I should look for references, but that wouldn't be fair since everyone starts with no references, so I thought people here might have a better idea of what sort of earmarks to look for to spot people who were likely to be good tenants. So far, all I have is "profile pic, mature Facebook account, communicates well." The other thing is that the area I'm in is a good upscale area, but as a result of the high number of expats hanging out there, there's also a high number of hookers, and I'd like to know that I'm not renting out to someone who's just going to be using the place as a base of operations to gently caress women from.
