Find the problems before your next guest does.

Get a fast readiness score and a practical Now / 30 / 90 / Annual maintenance plan. If something needs a tradie, the brief is already started.

Host health check

Pressure-test the guest experience

A practical maintenance triage—not an Airbnb compliance certificate. Local rules and platform requirements still need separate checking.

Your property

Plan with fewer unknowns

A useful answer now, and a clearer conversation when a tradie inspects the job.

Who it is for

Airbnb hosts, short-stay operators, landlords and property managers.

The problem

Short-stay problems are expensive because they become guest complaints quickly: hot water, locks, air conditioning, safety items, leaks, power, cleaning handovers and access systems.

What it gives you

The check produces a readiness score, prioritises urgent issues and creates a Now / 30 / 90 / Annual plan that can become a maintenance job brief.

It is not a compliance audit. Owners still need to meet local laws, insurance requirements, strata rules and professional safety checks.

How the result is calculated

The readiness score weights visible safety checks, guest-critical systems, preventive maintenance and urgent defects. The output prioritises work into Now, 30-day, 90-day and annual horizons; it does not certify the property as compliant.

Questions people ask before quoting

What maintenance should Airbnb hosts check before guests arrive?+

Hosts should check hot water, locks, keys or smart access, lighting, air conditioning or heating, smoke alarms, leaks, drainage, appliances, internet, cleaning handover issues and visible safety hazards.

Is this a legal compliance checklist?+

No. It is a practical maintenance planning tool. Compliance can depend on state rules, local council requirements, strata rules, insurance and the type of property.

Can I turn the checklist into a maintenance job?+

Yes. If the check finds an issue that needs a tradie, the details can be carried into KeyTrade so the job starts with clearer context.
