Joint Hosting

What are the benefits of joint hosting for a short-term rental?

Joint hosting allows responsibilities to be shared, making it easier to manage guest communication, cleaning coordination, and maintenance. This is particularly useful for owners who live interstate or overseas, or for co-owned properties where multiple stakeholders are involved.

How should financial responsibilities be divided in joint hosting?

Clear agreements should outline each host’s share of income, expenses (e.g., cleaning, repairs), and tax obligations. In Australia, this is typically formalised in a co-ownership or joint management agreement to avoid disputes.

Can joint hosts use the same booking platform account?

Most platforms (like Airbnb or Stayz) allow multiple users to access a single listing through co-host features. However, only the primary host can manage payouts, so banking details and tax information must be agreed upon in advance.

What happens if joint hosts disagree on property management?

A written agreement should include dispute resolution processes, such as mediation or a voting system for major decisions. For MadeComfy-managed properties, we act as a neutral third party, implementing agreed-upon policies to prevent conflicts.

Does MadeComfy allow joint hosting?

Yes, we work with joint hosts by providing a single point of contact for streamlined management. Our team handles day-to-day operations while keeping all stakeholders informed through shared reports, ensuring transparency and hassle-free collaboration.
