The Danger of Leaving the Keys Under the Mat for Airbnb Hosts

2326

There are over 1.2M Airbnb hosts in over 190 countries. On average these hosts rent out their apartment or home 33 times per year. That’s about 40M nights per year.

How do most of these travelers gain access to the property?

A large percentage of these hosts leave their keys under the mat, in a fake rock or in a lock box.

Anytime you physically give out a key to strangers, there is a possibility of those keys being replicated and used in malicious ways.

The easiest solution to this problem is to simply not give physical keys out at all.

Smart locks and software like Remotely can help hosts secure their properties and streamline their check ins and check outs.
