I'm about to leave HomeAway, because they've put policies in place that put them between me and my renters. I vet my renters, I have a contract that asks for the names and ages of everyone who'll be staying, as well as asking for references. I take a security deposit that most folks would prefer not to lose.
When someone inquires and says that they'll have 7 or 8 people staying, I stand firm on my 6-person limit. "Can my friends come and stay in their camper?" Nope. My contract actually states, "No high school or college groups," or something like that. I've never had a problem. We have always had really, truly nice people occupy our cottage.

I have had rental property since 1978, and rental property on Winnipesaukee since 2003.
My experience in Laconia and Gilford has been much different than in Massachusetts. Yes, you will have problems and sometimes you will end up in court. In Mass the courts hold people responsible and make them pay for damage, back rent, and loss of use. In Laconia? Not so much It seems no one is held responsible and every defendant gets a pat on the cheek and is told to try harder. I have had numerous eviction and collection cases in Laconia District Court and walked away disappointed from every one of them. Compassion is nice but what about personal responsibility? Laconia deadbeats are quick to learn that they can stiff anyone and it is just fine. They all talk to each other and the message that any story you have to tell the judge will work. And it does. |

You could do it yourself, using VRBO.
