Course description: Securing a short-term rental property comes with responsibilities that differ from a typical static guard assignment. You are working without a permanent on-site team, often managing privacy expectations for guests, coordinating directly with hosts, and making judgment calls with less immediate backup than you would have in a traditional security role.

This course equips you with the practical skills to secure short-term rental properties professionally, covering how to conduct thorough property checks, maintain a visible security presence, handle guest interactions respectfully, and report incidents clearly. You will finish with a working understanding of how to protect both the physical property and guest privacy in line with platform security standards.

Learning outcomes:

• Understand the security responsibilities specific to short-term rental properties and how to work effectively with hosts
• Prepare for a shift by inspecting property security systems and identifying vulnerabilities
• Conduct thorough routine and random property checks, using security technology and clear documentation
• Report incidents effectively and communicate with hosts, escalating to authorities when necessary
• Stay current on evolving security policies and local laws affecting short-term rental properties

Course includes:

• 5 video modules covering the full property security cycle, from pre-check to reporting

What is the advantage of taking this course?

This course gives you that specialization, so you can take on rental property assignments with confidence and stand out from guards without this experience.
