What are the requirements for live listings?

Updated today

Peerspace focuses on making bookings as simple and transparent as possible for both hosts and guests. To achieve this goal, we have basic requirements that hosts must address in their profile and listings before we can set a space live for guests to book:

Host Requirements

  • Host profiles must include their full name, a verified phone number, and include a friendly photo. Last names will never be public on Peerspace.

  • Listings cannot contain URLs to outside websites, the space's address, or any direct contact information.

Host Verification

To avoid any delays in activating your listing, please complete the Stripe verification and set up your direct deposit here. All bookings and payments must take place on the Peerspace platform. Guests are charged in full when you accept their booking. Host receive payments 3-7 business days after the booking has taken place.

Host Policies

All hosts are required to closely follow the Peerspace Community Guidelines. If you don't own the space you are listing, make sure you have the right to license it.

Hosts are responsible for being responsive to guest messages and requests as well as keeping communications and bookings on the platform. Failure to follow host terms and community guidelines will impact hosting eligibility.

Space Requirements

Peerspace has a few limitations on the types of spaces that can be listed. Spaces that aren't allowed on the marketplace:
- Non-stationary spaces such as boats, RV's, buses, etc
- Common, community, or shared resident areas (pool, gym, event space, etc.)
- Low quality, unsanitary, unsafe, and cluttered spaces
- Spaces that are actively listed for rent or for sale

- Overnight accommodations

Listing Requirements

Our listing categories are productions, meetings, and events. Please look below to see what the required amenities are for each one to see if your space qualifies:

Meetings: Meeting listings are for corporate meetings, presentations, workshops or conferences that require chairs, tables, and an AV source in the same room. Additionally, it must be able to accommodate amenities to the capacity listed. If the listing says the capacity is 30, the listing must include photos with tables, chairs, and AV to accommodate 30.

Production: Production listings are for film and photography that requires a set-up to easily achieve that. Some key items we are looking for are optimal lighting, set options, props, and equipment. The listing must showcase photos of the space guests have access to when booking.

Events: We require event spaces to comfortably fit a minimum of 10 guests. Event listings must include photos with any furnishings included in the booking such as chairs, tables, or pop-up stations. Additionally, the square footage provided must accommodate the occupancy you have set for the space.

Descriptions

Your listing should clearly highlight the square footage, layout, capabilities, and ideal uses of your space that relate to the activity you are listed under, while also detailing any restrictions that would impact a guest's decision to book. Successful hosts are thorough when completing the About the Space, Production FAQ, Event FAQ, and Host Rules sections of their listings.

Photos

Photos are one of the most crucial parts of your listings and one of the most common reasons listings aren't qualified to go live. Photos submitted must match the location provided and show the requirements needed to list for events, meetings, or productions. The best listings have 20+ quality photos to show off the space in its entirety as well it's accessibility and unique features. Make sure you have the rights to your photos, which cannot include watermarks or logos.

Pricing

Pricing must be fully transparent in listings. The most successful listings ensure an efficient booking process and positive guest experience with an all-inclusive hourly rate. If you have any special rates (ex: full-day rates, discounts, multi-day bookings, etc.), use the About the Space section of your listing to make them clear to prospective guests. Consider adding these pricing features to your listing.

  • Attendee Pricing (charge based on the number of guests)

  • Calendar Pricing (charge based on certain dates & times)

  • Add Ons (charge extra for equipment, f&b, or services you offer)
