1st time trying to rent. inregards to the condo resort check in...I'm not sure of there policy ref outsiders? Do I tell them of the trans or just tell them friends are coming?

I usually send a generic type message stating that "we have made arrangements for our unit to be used this year by: Mr. and Mrs. John Doe 111 Maple Street, City, State zip

Why? In some states this may save them from having to pay a hotel occupancy tax (which you have already indirectly paid in the real estate portion of your annual maintenance fees).

One of my resorts once listed the info in their records as a "rental" as if they had done it for me. They then sent me a bill for their "commission." When I called to discuss it, they apologized for their error. However, months later, they sent me a 1099 tax form.

So, I decided, the less said, the better.
