CertiStay launches proprietary software safety and security solution for short-term rentals

The CertiStay audited certification process provides property owners with the opportunity to reduce safety and security issues, limit their liability, and demonstrate their commitment to guest safety and security through an independent third-party certification.

NASHVILLE – CertiStay, the third party safety and security auditors that provide safety inspections and certifications for short-term rentals with a proprietary software tool and trained auditors, has announced that following a successful proof of concept trial, they are now launching the service in multiple locations across North America.

The CertiStay audited certification process provides property owners with the opportunity to reduce safety and security issues, limit their liability, and demonstrate their commitment to guest safety and security through an independent third-party certification. The propriety auditing tool, the first of its kind, has been developed by police and fire chiefs, insurance underwriters, senior vacation rental industry professionals and government leaders. All audits are completed by fully trained auditors, whilst the operational process is fully backed by leading software developers. 

According to Transparent Intelligence, globally, the short-term rental supply listed on major Online Travel Agencies grew 33% from 2017 to 2018 to reach a total of 7.1 million properties. Currently, there is little regulation enforcement or safety standardization for homeowners or property managers, nor is there a clearly identified way that guests can ensure that the homes that they are booking, both meet and exceed safety standards. CertiStay has been developed in order to create a global standard where guests are assured of the safety and security of their accommodation whilst short-term rental providers can reduce their liabilities and ensure that they follow best practices.

Randy Bacik, CEO of CertiStay says, “The current regulations for vacation and short-term rentals are confusing and inconsistent. Today’s guests want assurance that the properties they are staying in meet safety and security standards that are on a par with hotels. The CertiStay solution meets that need, as well as providing an efficient process for property investors and property managers, and the added bonus of cost reductions on insurance.”
