SHORT-TERM RENTAL GUIDES & HOSTING BEST PRACTICES
AZRT’s Responsible Hosting Oath
Responsible hosting matters. Most guests and most hosts of short-term rentals (STRs) are good people, who behave as any good neighbor would. As responsible hosts, we seek to model the practices and behaviors of hosts who make a sincere effort to attract good guests and to be good neighbors.
This resource library helps all Arizona hosts do just that. Browse and bookmark this page for helpful guides, checklists, templates, and more – all available for free and created just for you by fellow Arizona hosts and managers!
