Guest Screening: How to stop problem guests and fraud

99% of guests have good intentions, but what about the other 1%? Is reading reviews and asking a few questions enough to prevent thousands of dollars of damage or lost revenue?

This Meetup will cover:

-11 risk factors to consider before accepting a reservation
-Canceling instant book reservations without penalty
-Using house rules to deter bad guests and give you leverage
-Payment fraud prevention on channels where hosts take payment, such as booking.com

Our featured speaker, Michael McKay, manages 13 properties in Jersey City and has hosted over 3,000 guests. After dealing with several incidents, he developed a guest screening system. Since integrating this system, Mike's team has almost eliminated all problem guests and fraud.
