HOST YOUR APARTMENT ON AIRBNB
Heading off on holiday or going away for a period to see friends or family? As a trial in 2026, we've decided to allow our residents to host their apartment on Airbnb. It’s a great way to earn a little extra income while you’re away.
To make sure this works smoothly for you and other residents in your building, we’ve set some clear rules and standards such as hosts having a minimum rating of 4★ and guests have a Good Track Record, to requiring stays be a minimum of 3 nights. Read below to find out more.
HOW IT WORKS
List your Quintain Living apartment easily on the Airbnb website or app. When you enter your postcode, Airbnb automatically recognises your location as part of the Airbnb-friendly programme. To create your listing, simply accept the programme terms of service and you’ll be on your way to hosting – and earning.
You can host your apartment for up to 90 nights per year, with a minimum of 3 nights at a time, giving you flexibility to earn extra income while you are away. These limits help us manage guest numbers and protect residents’ privacy, and help ensure that building access remains secure, so everyone can continue to enjoy a stress-free, welcoming community.
You stay in control by choosing when you host, who you welcome, and how much you charge per night. You will manage the practical details, from cleaning and key handovers to check-in and check-out times, so things work on your terms.
Just remember, if a guest is staying during Stadium Event days, that access to the area is restricted, including parking. Guests will also need a fob to pass through the access barriers (see FAQs below).

AIRBNB-FRIENDLY PROGRAMME FOR QUINTAIN LIVING FAQS
In here, you can find frequently asked questions about hosting your apartment on Airbnb.
Quintain Living has set a building rule that guests must have an Airbnb rating of 4 or higher to be eligible to book. This helps support a respectful community while ensuring compliance with building policies.
Yes, as long as the resident maintains an Airbnb host rating of 4★ or higher and is in good standing. Quintain Living reserves the right to withdraw hosting eligibility at any time, at our discretion.
Hosting approval may be withdrawn in circumstances such as:
- Rent, utilities, storage or parking arrears.
- Repeated neighbour complaints or disruptive guest behaviour.
- Negative feedback from other residents or building staff.
- Breaches of building or tenancy rules.
- Misuse of the Airbnb listing or platform policies.
These measures help ensure everyone in our community enjoys a safe and respectful living environment.
Our building rule is that bookings are subject to a minimum stay of three nights, with longer stays approved at Quintain Living’s discretion. To maintain our strong sense of community, residents may host for a maximum of 90 nights per year. For other questions related to hosting on Airbnb, please refer to the Airbnb help centre.
The Quintain Living resident named on the lease is fully responsible for all guest stays arranged through their Airbnb listing. All bookings and payments are managed directly on Airbnb, and Quintain Living accepts no liability for any part of the guest’s stay. The host is responsible for ensuring guests are aware of and follow building rules, fire safety policies, respect neighbours, and maintain your apartment in good condition. You’ll also handle all communication, check-ins, and checkouts directly through Airbnb.
Any damage or issues during a guest’s stay must be reported immediately. Resolution and claims are handled through Airbnb’s Host Damage Protection or your chosen insurance policy.
Access to your apartment is organised directly by you, the host. Once a stay has been confirmed, you simply reach out to us and we will update your fob to remove access to social spaces from the start date of the booking. As the resident named on the lease, you’re responsible for coordinating check-in and checkout with your guests by handing over your fob, in line with building security and access policies. If any of your guests would require assistance in the case of an evacuation, you must let us know beforehand.
No, residents are not permitted to install their own lockbox or smart lock or make any changes to the existing key access system.
If an Airbnb guest loses a fob, the host is responsible for covering the replacement cost and completing ID verification to arrange access for the guest. The host can verify their identity either in person at the building or, if they are unavailable (for example, out of the country), via a video call for remote verification (including showing their photo ID on the call).
No, it’s building policy that Airbnb guests will not have access to shared social spaces, including resident lounges and gyms.
Airbnb maintains AirCover for Hosts, offering top-to-bottom protection. Learn more about AirCover for Hosts and what’s included.
Standard Airbnb fees apply. Learn more about Airbnb service fees. Quintain Living receives a 20% share of the Airbnb booking revenue in the community.
Typically, standard contents insurance does not include hosting. For added peace of mind, we recommend checking with your insurer or using Airbnb’s Host Guarantee, part of AirCover for Hosts, which reimburses hosts for damage caused by guests during an Airbnb stay if the guest does not pay for it.
