Everything You Need to Know About Partnering With Sky Blue Stays
We believe in full transparency. Here’s how our leasing model works, what you can expect, and how we protect your property every step of the way.
Leasing & Payments
Q1: How does the leasing arrangement work?
✅ Sky Blue Stays signs a standard Master Lease Agreement with you, making us your primary tenant. We then manage the home professionally for short- and mid-term stays. You receive guaranteed monthly rent — no matter how many nights are booked.
Q2: When do I get paid?
✅ Rent is paid on the same day each month, automatically and on time. You never deal with vacancies, guest payments, or late fees.
Q3: Who pays utilities and maintenance?
✅ We typically handle all utilities, cleaning, and minor maintenance during the lease term. This ensures the property stays in perfect condition and guests always have a great experience.
Guest Management
Q4: What kind of guests stay at the property?
✅ We host professionals, families, and corporate clients — not party groups or locals. Every guest is identity-verified and background-checked.
Q5: How do you prevent damage or noise complaints?
✅ We use smart noise monitoring devices (non-recording), strict house rules, and professional cleaning after every stay. We also maintain $1M+ in insurance coverage for added protection.
Q6: Who handles check-ins, keys, and cleaning?
✅ Our local team manages all logistics, including cleaning, keyless entry setup, and 24/7 guest support. You don’t have to lift a finger.
Legal & Compliance
Q7: Is this legal in San Diego?
✅ Yes. Sky Blue Stays operates fully in compliance with San Diego’s Short-Term Residential Occupancy (STRO) regulations. We only work with properties that qualify and always maintain proper permits.
Q8: Will this affect my property insurance?
✅ No. Our business and each booking are covered by $1 million+ in liability insurance. You can keep your existing policy — our coverage sits on top for extra protection.
Q9: Do you sublet the home?
✅ Technically no — we lease it professionally. Under a Master Lease, we’re responsible for rent and property care, and we manage short-term guests as part of our operations. You deal only with us.
Property Care
Q10: How do you ensure my home stays in good condition?
✅ Every stay includes professional cleaning, supply restocking, and a post-departure inspection. Our cleaners report back with photos, and any issue is handled promptly.
Q11: Can I visit or inspect the property?
✅ Absolutely. You can schedule a visit anytime with notice — we value transparency and collaboration.
Q12: What happens if something breaks?
✅ We cover and handle normal wear and tear repairs. Anything structural or major (like HVAC failure) is discussed and handled per lease terms, just like a traditional rental.
Partnership & Process
Q13: How long is the lease term?
✅ We typically offer 24-month leases, with renewal options. In some cases, we can accommodate flexible terms or seasonal usage.
Q14: What if I want to use my home part of the year?
✅ We can customize agreements so you retain a few months for personal use — especially common for owners who spend summers elsewhere.
Q15: What’s the process to get started?
✅ Simple:
1. Schedule a quick call or property review.
2. We assess fit and send a proposal.
3. You review terms and sign the lease.
4. We handle everything from setup to guest management.
