Accidental Damage Waiver

Vacation Home Rental Security Deposit Alternative

For too long vacation rental property managers have had the burden of collecting and refunding security deposits. Additionally, if there is damage, you run the risk of the renter disputing the charge with their credit card company, leaving you and the homeowner to come out of pocket to fix the damage. There is a better way, and it is called an accidental damage waiver (ADW).

Property manager benefits

Using an accidental damage waiver instead of a security deposit eliminates chargeback disputes, as the renter pays for the damage waiver upfront as part of the rental. An ADW can also be a profit center for you, the property manager. A service fee can be added to the ADW charge making you more money on every rental. A good ADW will allow your cleaning staff to report damage up to 3 days after the guest checks out.
