What does the 15% management fee cover?

Everything operational: listing creation, dynamic pricing, guest communication, vetting, check-ins, housekeeping coordination, linen, maintenance management and monthly reporting. No VAT is added.

Am I tied into a long contract?

No. Our management agreement runs on a rolling basis with 30 days' notice on either side. We keep your business by performing, not by locking you in.

What happens if the property is damaged?

Every guest provides ID, accepts house rules and covers a security deposit. Damage is photographed at changeover and claimed the same day.

How quickly can my property go live?

Typically 10 to 14 days from signing: staging and photography first, then listing build, pricing and launch across every platform.

Do you offer guaranteed rent instead?

Yes. If you want zero variance we can offer a fixed monthly rent on suitable city-centre properties - see our Guaranteed Rent page.

What the fee actually pays for

At Ruso Property we provide complete, hands-off management for short-term rentals. Our end-to-end service covers guest communication, marketing, professional cleaning, linen and seamless changeovers. We manage your property across Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo while also generating direct bookings, so the 15% is charged on income we created in the first place.
