Rent Your Backyard For My Tiny House as a Short Term Rental

Denver CO

Description

Hello! I’m building a startup and am looking to rent a spot in a homeowner’s backyard for my really tiny house to be used as a short term rental. A little bit more about the venture: We place a really tiny house (8 x 12ft) in your backyard, and manage it as a short term rental. You, as the landlord, don't worry about the upkeep of the tiny house, or managing guests- we take care of that. Please message me and we will be in touch shortly! Some frequently asked questions: Is this legal? These tiny houses fall under the same category as RV's and are allowed to be licensed as short term rentals (STR) in the city of Denver. Outside of the city of Denver, no licensing for STR’s are needed. How many people are allowed to rent it out at one point? Using Airbnb, we are able to set a filter to maximize the number of guests who can stay there at one point. The maximum amount of guests who will be allowed to stay at the Teeny House will be two. How do you deal with wastewater? The tiny house has a compostable toilet, and that eliminates the need for a black water tank. The tiny house has a shower, and the water from that is stored in a gray watetr tank attached to the bottom of the home. The tank usually takes three days to fill up, and has a sensor that communicates to us when it's getting close to being full. We responsibly dispose of the gray water. What about the cost of utilities? Both the electricity and the water are metered with our separate meters and we pay for the utility consumption every month. How much will I expect to get compensated? Depending on the location, just for renting out your backyard, you could earn up to 400 dollars a month. The average that a homeowner will earn is $200 per month.
