Friday, February 3, 2023

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Innovative lodging tech company DACK has been working to help professional short-term rental (STR) operators/owners be good neighbors. DACK's proprietary technology offers a powerful portal that allows owners to closely monitor guest activity at properties and quickly and effectively quell unruly or unsanctioned parties or illegal activities. This is in addition to all the tools needed to completely manage the guest experience with consumer-facing features like digital check-in and checkout, smart access, property guides, local recommendations, and more. With thousands of fans streaming into Phoenix the weekend of February 11-12 for the "Big Game", there will be countless legal and illegal festivities planned. Many of these illegal activities will be hosted at short-term rentals (like Airbnb, VRBO properties). With increased scrutiny about activities that violate contracts and leases at these STRs, there is an expected crackdown on unsanctioned parties and events, particularly in the wake of a tragic shooting outside of a short-term rental in the upscale Beverly Hills, California neighborhood this past weekend.

Key Points: 
  • DACK's proprietary technology offers a powerful portal that allows owners to closely monitor guest activity at properties and quickly and effectively quell unruly or unsanctioned parties or illegal activities.

  • Many of these illegal activities will be hosted at short-term rentals (like Airbnb, VRBO properties).
