We recommend smart locks, outdoor cameras, ID verification for guests, and clear house rules. Hosts can also require security deposits or damage protection.
Home Prep & Personal Belongings for First-Time Hosts

Absolutely! Many World Cup Rentals hosts are everyday homeowners offering their space for a short period during the tournament. Whether it’s a spare room, in-law suite, or your whole home while you’re away, we welcome first-time hosts.

  • Storing valuables and sensitive items in a locked closet, storage room, or off-site.
  • Clearing out personal drawers and bathroom cabinets so guests have space.
  • Labeling “Owner Only” cabinets or closets and using padlocks or coded locks for access control

Not at all. Guests appreciate a home that feels welcoming and lived-in. Just remove anything irreplaceable or deeply personal. Think of it as preparing for visiting friends—tidy, but not sterile.

It’s highly recommended. A professional deep clean before and after a guest stay helps earn positive reviews and ensures a top-tier experience. Many hosts build this into their cleaning fee.

Yes! Some hosts choose to remain within driving distance to offer local tips and support. Just be transparent about the living arrangements in your listing.
