Traveling CNA for 8 week stay on Air bnb

I have someone interested in staying 8 weeks at my STR during my slow period for a traveling CNA position. I am considering having him book in 1-2 weeks at a time. He is 38 years old and has no reviews.

Two questions:

Anything I need to consider or protocols I should put in place?

What is the typical way to price something like this? I was thinking $100/night when I’d generally charge $125-$155. Is $100/night way overkill with this length?

Do a regular lease. Do a background check. Get a deposit.

Yes offer a discount.

You should be fine if you do these.

    Hi @Kayla Utley! An 8-week stay could be a great opportunity, especially during your slow season, but a few things to think about:

    Since your guest has no reviews, maybe ask for a reference or just have a quick chat to feel things out. Pricing-wise, I’d say $100 per night sounds fair given the length of the stay, especially compared to your usual rate. As for protocols, just make sure to set clear expectations—cleaning schedules, payments, and house rules—so everything stays smooth during the longer stay. That should help keep things running seamlessly!

    If booking direct and he has no reviews I would have him sign a simple lease, do a BG check, and have a reasonable deposit.

    Hey @Kayla Utley, you sure want a regular lease and do a background check just like you would do with any long term renter.

    Are they booking it through AirBNB or direct?

    Just do what @John Underwood said and you should be golden.
