Common questions
Before you list
Can I host as soon as I sign my lease?
No. You can host only after you officially become a resident, and your lease must be 12 months or longer.
Can I rent my loft on Airbnb all year?
No. Hosting is limited to short-term stays, up to 90 days per calendar year. When you reach the limit, your listing goes inactive for the rest of that year.
Will this change who lives in our community?
Hosting is a perk for residents, with management oversight and rules in place. Not every resident will host, and every guest is verified through Airbnb.
What if a guest damages my home?
AirCover for Hosts provides Host Damage Protection of up to $3 million for damage caused by a guest during an Airbnb stay. See Airbnb for full terms.
Do I owe taxes on what I earn?
Hosting income may be reportable, and you are responsible for any federal, state or local taxes. Please consult your tax advisor.
Does management receive a share of booking revenue?
Ask the management office what the community collects from each booking and about any restrictions on your building.
Who do I contact with questions?
Visit or contact the North Highland Steel Lofts management office. For questions about your Airbnb application, use Airbnb's host support.
