Your questions — answered honestly

But I'd have to manage guests all the time, right?
No. That's exactly what Dropby solves. Guest messaging, pricing, cleaning coordination and calendar management all run automatically. Your involvement is roughly 1–2 hours per month reviewing your report.
What about the security of a long-term tenant?
We understand this concern. Long-term rental feels safe. But STR at 78% occupancy is actually more income-stable than a single tenant who could miss payments or leave on short notice. And you stay in full control — you can block your property any time you want to use it yourself.
Is my property suitable for STR?
Most properties in DACH cities work well for STR. Location matters more than size. We'll assess your specific property honestly in the free consultation — and tell you if it's not the right fit.
What if I want to stop?
No lock-in. Our contracts have a 30-day notice period. If you want to go back to long-term rental, we hand everything over cleanly. You own all accounts, logins and content we created.
Is STR legal where I am?
Yes, in most cases. STR is legal across Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the Netherlands. Some cities require a simple registration. We guide you through exactly what applies in your city — for free.
