The demand for short-term rental properties in Dubai saw a 30% y-o-y surge in 2024. Whether for business trips or vacations, these accommodations provide flexibility and comfort, making them an attractive choice for travellers. However, managing short-stay rentals within gated communities presents unique challenges, from tracking guest movement to ensuring regulatory compliance.
To streamline this process, ANACITY has launched Holiday Homes, a powerful new feature designed to help community managers effectively oversee short-term rental properties and operators.
What Is the Holiday Homes Feature?
The Holiday Homes module enables easy registration, tracking, and regulation of short-stay rentals within your community. With this feature, community managers can ensure compliance with local regulations, maintain security, and provide residents with complete transparency.
Key Features of Holiday Homes
Some of the main features of the module are:
Registration & tracking
- List short-stay rental units along with all relevant details, including required tourism permits.
- Maintain a digital repository of properties available for daily, weekly, or monthly stays.
Operator-based classification
- Associate multiple units with a single operator for better tracking and streamlined management.
- Easily access operator-specific details for enhanced transparency.
Guest move-in protocols
- Set guidelines for guests moving in and out, ensuring a structured process for approvals.
- Maintain records of current, upcoming, and past guest stays.
Security & compliance
- Enforce security protocols with guest registration and documentation filing.
- Ensure compliance by mandating DTCM (Dubai Tourism & Commerce Marketing) permits and NOCs.
- Retain control over property access by deactivating Holiday Homes when needed.
