Rent Responsibly is a community-building and education platform for the short-term rental community.
About us
Rent Responsibly is the community building and education platform for local short-term rental alliances and operators. We make it easy for hosts to connect, access resources, and lead successful STR alliances. We achieve this through our alliance management services and our private Rent Responsibly Network Beta (RR Network). Our new community platform, RR Network, allows operators of any size to connect through discussion forums, private groups, and one-to-one messaging. Members can access a centralized calendar of industry events and a robust library of guides, checklists, templates, research reports, and more. Content covers many topics, from marketing to advocacy to sustainability and investing responsibly. STR associations and alliances can leverage the RR Network as a member management software. The platform enables groups to capture and manage membership dues, collect donations, and sell event tickets. Rent Responsibly is organized as a for-profit C-corporation. We focus on a triple-P bottom line, prioritizing people, the planet, and profit equally. For more information about us, visit www.rentresponsibly.org/about

Short-term rental statistics tell a story about our industry that defies misconceptions. They help us illustrate the short-term rental industry’s dramatic growth and its personalized and community-driven nature. These numbers show that most hosts have only one property, and corporations aren’t driving the industry. Understanding guest preferences and the economic significance of short-term rentals is crucial as we navigate the evolving landscape. Dive into the 2024 State of the STR Industry Report for more! https://hubs.ly/Q02MBV2J0 #STR #VacationRentals #CommunityImpact

10 out of 10 experience at the Vrbo Live event in Summit County, Colorado. We heard about the remarkable, and remarkably aligned, efforts of local and state advocacy groups, tourism orgs, STR platforms, DMOs and Chambers of Commerce to push back and ultimately defeat SB33 (commercial taxation on STRs) last session. It was also great to hear the perpective of Colorado House Speaker McCluskie on the vital role STRs play in Colorado’s economy. As always, I loved spending quality time (in nature!) with my wonderful teammates, Alexa Nota & Dana Lubner! Great to see ya Noah Stewart, Tiffany Moss, Becca Glenn, Tim Rosolio, Carmela Gillenwater, Christine Staberg, Johanna Gibbs, Jaclyn Terwey, Julie Koster, Toby Babich, Carlton "CJ" Willey, Wil Slickers, B.J. Shell, Ashley Kubiszyn, Mary Beth Miles! Great to meet ya Chris Romer, ACE, IOM of Vail Valley Partnership & Timothy Wolfe of Colorado Tourism Office!

🚨 Victory in Colorado: Defeating SB33 🚨 In early 2024, Colorado proposed Senate Bill 33 (SB33), aiming for a 400% property tax hike on short-term rentals (STRs). This bill would have significantly harmed the state's tourism industry and STR owners. Thanks to a robust campaign by the Colorado Lodging and Resort Alliance (CLARA), including economic impact studies, statewide advocacy, and media outreach, SB33 was defeated in its first hearing. Key Takeaways: ➕ Strategic Advocacy: Data-driven and community-focused ➕ Power of Mobilization: Over 150 advocates rallied at the Capitol ➕Media Impact: Extensive local and national coverage The success highlights the power of collective action and strategic communication. For STR advocates everywhere, CLARA’s efforts are a model for effective policy defense. Read now: https://hubs.ly/Q02LVVxf0

🤖 Am I allowed to say generative AI is just ok? Team RR is in the middle of a 6-week block of learning about various generative AI tools to find the best ways we can use the tech to work for us and the alliances we serve. Between half a dozen courses and lots of trial and error, I have to admit: I don’t feel super-powered yet.
