Improve your guests’ short-term rental experience with Yale Smart devices

Running a rental home or Airbnb can be stressful. Visitors expect high-quality amenities in a secure and comfortable space, and you want to find the easiest way to manage the many people (from guests to cleaning services) who need access to the property at any given time.  

At Yale, we have the solution to all these concerns. Our Yale smart devices can help you to better operate your rental home. Improving guest experiences so they can focus on enjoying their holiday to the fullest, and impressing them so much that they have no choice but to leave you 5-star glowing reviews! 

Make key sharing easier 

Ever feel that managing keys when you are fully booked and have an ever-rotating group of guests is a real nightmare? Remembering to leave keys out, or figure out where to hide them for groups arriving late at night can be time-consuming and stressful. And on top of all that, there's always the fear that a guest will misplace these keys, locking themselves out and putting the security of your property at risk. 

Eliminate the need for keys with the help of our Linus^® Smart Lock! Make their stay hassle-free by allowing them to come and go as they please, without the need to remember any keys. Instead, guests can be granted virtual keys or codes that allow them to access your property using their phones or a Yale Smart Keypad. 

And when their stay is over, you can simply cancel their virtual key so that they no longer have access to the property. Virtual keys can also help you to easily organise any housekeeping needed to maintain your property by granting access to any cleaning staff that you have hired to tidy up between guest stays, or handymen who need to fix any issues within the property before the next guest arrives!   

Keep your personal belongings safe from guests 

When advertising your beautiful property as a luxurious getaway space, the last thing you want is for visitors to be able to access eye sores like linen cupboards or lock away any tools or cleaning supplies from guests, while still making them accessible to maintenance or cleaning staff. And, as a manager of a rental property, you need to figure out the best way to keep your items private from any guests staying in your space as well. 

With our Yale Smart Cabinet Lock, you can easily store any valuable items away from guests to keep them safe. Our Smart Cabinet Lock is ultra-compact and can be easily mounted inside most cabinets and drawers to be completely hidden from view, so as not to distract from the overall design and luxury of your rental property. The lock is designed to provide you with instant access to your items when you return to your home, using the Yale Access App, or via voice command with your favourite voice assistants, like Google Assistant*, HomeKit and Amazon Alexa*. And should any guest decide to try to tamper with or open any out-of-bounds space, you will receive a notification directly to your phone, for additional peace of mind. So you can always be sure that guests can only access the areas you allow. 

Give guests a secure location to store their valuables 

A request commonly brought up by any travellers looking to book accommodation is asking if there is an adequate location to store their travel documents, passports, money, jewellery, or expensive electronics for the duration of their stay.  

Our Yale Smart Safe is the ideal answer to this question, providing guests with a protected location to store sensitive and pricey items that can be opened using the Yale Access app. The Yale Access app opens you up to a world of connectivity and smart possibilities when it comes to managing and monitoring your rental property! Providing you with the ability to set up a guest to have access to both the home (via a Linus Smart Lock) and Smart Safe all using the same code or virtual key, and then revoke access for all at once as soon as their stay is complete! Helping you to run your rental operation more smoothly. 

The door-activated light and included shelf and hooks will allow guests to easily see and organise their valuables, giving them both security and convenience as they travel. For added security, the Smart Safe’s alarm will go off after 5 incorrect entry attempts and lockdown for 5 minutes to prevent unwanted visitors. So you can be certain that any sensitive or precious materials being stored on your property will be protected at all times. Granting visiting guests the comfort and peace of mind to relax and fully enjoy their stay in your home. 

So what are you waiting for? Make running your rental property more simple and stress-free today by investing in one of Yale’s smart devices!
