Structured handling
Eligible stays can use a clearer deposit process instead of informal payment arrangements.
PerchProtect
A clearer way to handle deposits for mid-term stays.
PerchProtect is designed to reduce the trust gap around security deposits by giving hosts and travelers a more structured deposit workflow for eligible stays.
Documented expectations
Deposit terms should connect to the stay agreement, move-in condition, and move-out review.
Two-sided confidence
Hosts get more confidence that deposits are addressed, while travelers get more clarity about what happens next.
Stay records
Move-in and move-out documentation can help both sides resolve questions with better context.
How it works
Trust is a workflow, not a badge.
Before booking
See whether protection is available.
Listings can show whether a host offers PerchProtect so travelers understand deposit options early.
Before move-in
Confirm terms and documentation.
The stay agreement and move-in records should make deposit expectations easier to understand.
After move-out
Use records to support a fair outcome.
Move-out records and documented expectations help reduce confusion if a deposit question comes up.

No. It is intended to support deposit handling. Lease terms and rental obligations still need to be addressed in the stay agreement.
Who is PerchProtect for?
It is designed for hosts and travelers who want more clarity around deposits for furnished mid-term stays.
