Have a friend who recently rented out to a girl only to find out she was using his place as a brothel. This seems to be a growing concern in our city of Vancouver. Especially downtown Vancouver. There should be a way to screen out this type of activity in advance. I'm sure that most people hosting on here would not appreciate their place being used as a brothel. It's really all about screening and communication during the booking proces.
If a guest looks or sounds fishy I always ask for more info and ask them to tell me about what they plan on doing and if they are indeed all alone.
I usually avoid last minute bookings but you can't be a percent sure about anything but look a reviews and ask for more infomation and listen to your gut! Do you have any idea if you are alowed to go in your own house if you see something suspicious like for example , extra people that are not booked going in to your house?
Petre-Liviu0 You need to have it in your rules and or rental agreement. I have this in mine:. If you have questions such as how to come into the building, if is there is an access code etc, it may be suspicious. It is complicated to receive clients when the prostitute has to go down to open the door because the entrance door works with some key or pass. Or turn the listing to families in order to avoid those problems. There is no big warnings. If you receive a request from a group of girls wanting 'to visit the city' not saying the city will visit them , it is not obvious.
I suggestied to my friend to install a webcam in his unit. But even then, how would u know the difference between friend's coming over to visit vs. Almost impossible. Unless you had cameras in the bedroom too I believe. You would have many more than one person entering the building if they were dealing or selling services of any kind. You could make a house rule about visitors, and camera up the outside.
