Terms of use

About this site

hosttuneup.com is run by HostTuneUp, an online service for short-term rental hosts, operated from Ontario, Canada. By using the site you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use it.

Guides, glossary and calculators

• They are general information for hosts. They are not legal, tax, accounting or financial advice. For licences, permits and taxes, check with your city and a qualified professional.
• Platforms change their settings and rules. We try to keep pages current, but we cannot promise every detail is up to date.
• The calculators give estimates from the numbers you enter. Check them against your own records before making a decision.

Examples

Examples on this site use made-up homes and numbers to show a method. They are not client results and not a forecast of what you will earn.

No guarantee of results

Bookings and income depend on your market, your season, your property and the platforms. We do not guarantee any ranking, number of bookings or level of income.

Paid services

The site does not list prices. Co-hosting is agreed in a written proposal that sets out what we handle, what stays with you, the fee and how either of us can end it. If the proposal and these terms differ, the proposal applies.

Airbnb and Vrbo

HostTuneUp is independent. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Airbnb, Inc. or Vrbo. Their names are used only to describe the platforms our clients list on. You remain responsible for following each platform's terms and your local rules.

Your requests

Please send only information you are entitled to share, and do not send passwords. How we handle what you send is covered in the privacy policy.

Our content

The text, design and tools on this site belong to HostTuneUp. You may link to any page and quote short passages with a link back. Please do not republish whole pages.

Liability

The site is provided as it is. To the extent the law allows, HostTuneUp is not liable for losses that come from relying on the site's general information or its calculators. Nothing here limits rights you have under consumer law that cannot be waived.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Ontario, Canada.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms and will change the date at the top when we do. Questions? Use the contact form.
