To those who are actively renting out their units through AirBNB, how do you control your guests from making a duplicate of your keys? I'm concerned about this security part.
Someone said to use those guests who have good records. But I'm saying that, what if the guests appear to always be good, but decide to make a key duplicate for an accomplice to break in to the next guests who stay? How do you control that?
You can start investing in a digital lock. There's one where you can use your mobile to change your password at any give time (e.g. before/after your guest checked in)

Hello everyone,
I am the Airbnb host in Kota Kinabalu.
I started hosting about 2 years already and so far accumulated 150 good review.
Now I am having BIG BIG problem.
The management of my housing try to stop me doing this short term rental business, they gave me warning letter, they said unless I can obtain a licence from the local authority.
I went to the local Kementerian Pelancongan, the officer said there is nothing wrong to do rental service, but I need to get a business licence from the city council. But the city council officer said they can't issue any licence to residential area
.
Without the valid licence, I have to remove my listing from Airbnb...
Can anyone here advise what I suppose to do now?
Thanks in advance...
May I know how did the management came to know about your business? So far for mine, been trying to keep it low profile, ensuring all guest to keep the noise down at night.
