Should we photograph all the accommodation?
Not necessarily. The aim is above all to clearly document what you think is useful. A few well-chosen views may suffice.
Airbnb Damage Disputes: How to Preserve Photo Evidence
Why take pictures during an Airbnb rental?
The photos allow you to keep a visual record of the situation at a specific time: condition of a room, furniture, equipment, wall, floor, appliances or damage observed.
They can be useful for passenger than owner or manager. A few minutes are needed to document what might later be the subject of disagreement.
Upon arrival: photograph before settling
If something gets your attention when you arrive, photograph it before using the place: already damaged furniture, trace on a wall, damaged equipment, missing element or unusual general condition.
Prioritise an overview then, if necessary, a closer view. A short and understandable series is often more useful than an accumulation of images.
At Verify-in: record of housing condition
A few photos taken just before leaving the premises also allow to keep a trace of the state in which the accommodation was left.
In particular, you can photograph the main pieces and elements that might be involved in a later discussion.
In case of damage: show context
When damage is found, start with a photo large enough to understand where it is, then add one or two closer views if they provide additional information.
Avoid retouching images before building your folder. Keep the files as they were taken.
Why AI analysis provides additional information
Images can now be created or modified very easily. Keep the evidence therefore analyzes each photo at the time of deposit to estimate the probability that it was generated or modified by artificial intelligence.
The result is displayed as a percentage and kept with the photo. It provides particularly interesting additional information when an image is to be presented or shared as part of a disagreement.
Digital footprint: the technical signature of the file
Each photo deposited receives its own digital footprint. This print corresponds to the file saved at the time of filing.
A modified photo no longer had the same print. The Verify thus allows you to compare a file presented later with the fingerprint saved when creating the folder.
Date, seal and evidence record
The photos are grouped into a folder associated with a date and the corresponding seal information. The folder also has its own identifier.
You thus have an organized set: photos filed, AI analysis, digital prints, date, seal, PDF and verification page.
