For SF hosts
Host a founder
while you're away.
If you're heading out of town, your place can host a founder whose identity and plans we've checked, for the length of their stay in San Francisco — prepared and coordinated end-to-end by Check-In Hospitality.
What's on us, what's on you
We handle
- Vetting the founder and their stay dates.
- Preparing the place to a consistent furnished standard.
- Handover, keys, and on-the-ground operations for the full stay.
- A single point of contact — Check-In Hospitality — for you and the guest.
You provide
- A place in San Francisco you're leaving empty.
- Furnished, or willing to have us help furnish it.
- Honest dates — when it's available, when you're back.
- Access details so we can prep and hand over cleanly.
Timing
The earlier we know your dates, the more likely we can pair your place with a founder whose cohort, team, or meetings are nearby. Late is still worth telling us — plans shift, and matches happen up to the week of move-in.
Before you host
Your responsibilities as a host
Stays under 30 nights are short-term rentals in San Francisco (Administrative Code Chapter 41A). Hosting them requires that you're the permanent resident of the unit and registered with both the Office of the Treasurer & Tax Collector and the Office of Short-Term Rentals; unhosted stays are capped at 90 nights a year. If you don't live in the unit, the city doesn't permit stays under 30 nights there. For longer stays, check that your lease or HOA allows a guest or sublet. You're responsible for your own registration, insurance, and taxes.
