Hosting work you can hand over
Our management service covers booking management, listing SEO management, price optimization, professional photography, welcome book, cleaning and laundry, property maintenance, key exchange management and licensing support. We confirm the cleaning, maintenance and access arrangements for your address before agreeing to take it on. Explore the management service.
Start with the home you live in
Hamilton’s short-term rental licence is tied to the operator’s principal residence; the City describes these stays as fewer than 28 consecutive days. We can help you work through the City’s application requirements, including any landlord or condo permission, while the City decides eligibility and issues the licence.
A tenant can apply with the owner’s permission. A separate suite needs particular care: do not assume a licence for the main home covers a different dwelling unit. Bring the address, the rooms guests would use and any existing licence to your review.
A Hamilton welcome book that helps guests arrive
A useful listing explains the route to your door, the parking you can actually offer and any stairs between the entrance and the guest space. Photos and access instructions should show those details clearly.
If you include waterfall trips in the welcome book, point guests to Tourism Hamilton’s current guidance on closures, designated trails and responsible parking. Check access information before recommending a trip. A nearby attraction is a reason to write a better guest guide; it does not establish what your home will earn.
For your operating setup, agree who answers an urgent call, who keeps the guest information package current and how waste collection instructions reach each guest. Those practical details belong alongside the listing and calendar.
Your dates, fee and agreement
Decide which dates stay for you and which can be offered to guests. The management fee is 22% per booking, with property insurance included. Your written agreement sets out the calculation, additional costs, insurance details and the work covered. See how the fee works.
Tell us about your Hamilton home
Send the address, home type, whether you live in the unit, your proposed hosting dates and the status of any City licence or building permission. We will discuss property fit and what needs to be resolved before accepting management work. There is no income or booking guarantee.
