brian0123 Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Has anyone actually rented their home out (or have it listed) for the Superbowl? I'm tempted to list mine since you can walk to the stadium from my house... just not sure if people are actually getting anything crazy like I'm seeing listed online or in the news.

OkieEric Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Same here, I've read a few stories but don't really buy it. We're on the fringe of what I'd consider walkable (little over a mile). I would think someone willing to fork down $1000's per night on a rental and the tickets themselves wouldn't necessarily be all that concerned with walking, but who knows If you search airbnb for Super Bowl weekend (I put 2/3 to 2/6) you see prices all over the place, with some "hopeful" people putting $2K+/night, some nowhere near NRG. Not sure how to quickly figure out if that's actually working for anyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonMidtown Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I had neighbors rent their home for the last Super Bowl - they made a ton of money but also had issues with their house being damaged and their insurance didn't cover it so they spent the money they got for fixing the damage. There have been some news stories on TV lately about people renting, but they caution to check with your insurance company to make sure you are covered for any issues that could arise.

I confirmed with my insurance (Amica) that they will cover any damages. They asked me a series of questions about pets/pools/# of people to be allowed, etc. I'm not sure what rate I would even ask for though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tumbleweed_Tx Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 since I'll be living at work those two weeks, I'm also considering renting my place out on Air BnB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirJac Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 It would seem to me that an insurance company could put a clause in a contract if there isn't one there already. With enough due diligence in vetting renters, I would do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
