Becoming rentABLE Information

Becoming rentABLE is a platform dedicated to creating a social change in how the short-term rental industry looks at and defines an accessible short-term rental (STR) by advocating for and educating about accessible STRs in the areas of mobility, cognition, hearing, sight, and aging. The Becoming rentABLE website is the go-to source for easily finding accessible short-term rentals. Consumers can be confident with their choices of booking an accessible short-term rental, especially one that has been certified as accessible. Becoming rentABLE products include: Certification: Our certification program is designed to evaluate & validate what features are actually in an accessible short-term rental. We look at features for wheelchair, walker, hearing, vision, and Autism/Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) accessibility. A Becoming rentABLE certification allows renters to feel confident that the property they choose will have exactly what they need & that it has been confirmed by a 3rd party expert. Previously, renters would have to comb through hundreds, if not thousands, of properties to find a rental with features they needed & would still have to call hosts to verify features. Becoming rentABLE’s certification takes the guesswork out of renting an accessible short-term rental. Once certified, a renter can feel confident in the property they rent & the rental owner can reap the benefits of reaching a new market of people who want to travel. Evaluate My Property: Many property managers and owners do not understand what makes an accessible STR and commonly need assistance in evaluating if their property is accessible. Becoming rentABLE’s evaluation program takes the pressure off property managers & owners by letting us do all the work. Property managers & owners are able to provide their property URL& a trained team member will review and confirm if the property is wheelchair, walker, hearing, vision, & Autism/Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities
