Owners, Hosts, and Managers Nationwide Can Now Join the Rent Responsibly Network, a Virtual Community and Resource Center
Today, Rent Responsibly announced the launch of their new Rent Responsibly Network Beta, a community platform bringing together short-term rental (STR) owners, hosts, and managers; local and state STR associations; product and service providers; and other advocates. The platform, nicknamed the RR Network, provides virtual connectivity between operators and access to educational and business support resources.
“This is a game changer not only for individual hosts and managers to learn and network but also for supercharging alliance- and community-building efforts that are happening organically across the globe,” said David Krauss, Rent Responsibly’s Co-Founder and CEO.
Inside the RR Network, operators of any size can connect with one another through discussion forums, private groups, and one-to-one messaging. They can also access a centralized calendar of industry events and a robust library of guides, checklists, templates, research reports, and more. Content covers a host of topics from marketing to advocacy to sustainability and investing responsibly. More features will be released in 2024.
“From day one, we have dreamed of creating a singular virtual home for hosts,” Krauss said. “With the launch of the RR Network, we’ve created a welcoming, resource-rich place where the STR community is able to come together under one roof.”
“It’s easy to feel alone in the vacation rental space, but being a part of the Rent Responsibly Network brings awareness to just how vast this community really is, and we all benefit when we pool resources toward a common cause,” said Julie Marks, Founder and Executive Director of the Vermont Short-Term Rental Alliance (VTSTRA).
Additionally, STR associations and alliances can leverage the RR Network as their member management software. The platform enables groups to capture and manage membership dues as well as collect donations, sell event tickets, sell ad space, and more. Associations using this software get a private space inside the network through which they can offer their members exclusive access to alliance benefits, such as local regulatory updates and members-only events. VTSTRA and five other associations recently launched their groups inside the network.
“I am especially excited about this element because it is something countless groups have asked of us over the years,” said Dana Lubner, Rent Responsibly’s Director of Community. “It’s a suite of resources created for alliance leaders by alliance leaders, so it’s incredibly powerful to now have even more tools to enable alliances’ success and connect them to each other.”
“Our vacation rental community continues to embrace productive collaboration and connectivity, and the RR Network provides one of our best tools yet,” said Jonathan Wicks, Interim President of Arizonans for Responsible Tourism, another association featured in the network.
Individuals can join the RR Network for free at network.rentresponsibly.org.
