Most Airbnb management is priced as a percentage of the revenue your bookings generate. The percentage matters less than what it includes and what is billed on top.
The Common Structure: A Percentage of Revenue
Short-term rental management is usually priced as a percentage of gross booking revenue. MorHaven charges 20–25%, depending on property size, service level, turnover frequency, and furnishing requirements. Because the fee scales with revenue, we earn more when you earn more.
What the Fee Should Cover
- Guest communication
- Dynamic pricing
- Listing creation and optimization
- Cleaning coordination and inspection
- Maintenance triage and vendor coordination
- Monthly reporting
What Is Usually Separate
- Cleaning. Normally funded by the guest cleaning fee on each reservation.
- Supplies and consumables. Restocking costs money even when labor is included.
- Repairs and capital improvements. These belong to the owner.
- Owner costs. Mortgage or rent, HOA dues, insurance, utilities, and taxes.
Questions to Ask Before You Sign
- What exactly does the percentage cover, in writing?
- Is the percentage calculated on gross or net revenue?
- Are there onboarding, setup, or photography fees?
- How long is the contract and what does it cost to leave?
- Who holds the license, and how does the manager handle compliance?
- How are repairs approved and billed?
Denver Adds One Question
Denver licenses short-term rentals only at the host's primary residence. A manager who offers to run an investment property as a short-term rental in Denver is offering something the city does not license. Ask how they handle that before you pay anyone.
What About Multifamily Management?
Long-term and multifamily management is typically priced differently from short-term rentals, per property based on unit count and scope. MorHaven quotes it in writing for each building. See multifamily property management.
