Lease your apartment to Airhost.
Guaranteed monthly rent, no agent fees and an apartment that's professionally cared for. We rent your property long-term, so you can leave the tenant hassles behind.
One reliable tenant. Rent on time. An apartment we look after as our own.
Letting through an agent means fees, empty months and tenants you've never met. Leasing to Airhost means one professional company, one lease and one point of contact who lives and works in Umhlanga.
Cut out estate agent fees
No letting commission, no monthly management fee, no placement fee. You lease directly to us, so the full rent goes to you.
Maximise your rental income
Market-related rent on a 12-month renewable lease, paid every month even when the apartment is empty.
Deal directly with the operator
No middleman. Speak to the people who run your apartment, based in Beacon Rock and a phone call away.
Lower maintenance worries
Our team cleans and inspects the apartment constantly. Small issues are spotted and fixed early, before they become expensive repairs.
Proven track record
We already operate 20+ apartments in Beacon Rock, serviced daily and hosting guests every week. See our work.
One tenant, one lease, no surprises
No tenant screening, no chasing late payments, no evictions. One professional company signs the lease and is accountable for it.

Why is this better than using a rental agent?
You pay no agent commission or fees, there are no empty months between tenants, and you deal directly with the company that runs your apartment. Rent is paid on time every month by one accountable tenant, and the apartment is cleaned and checked constantly.
Do I pay any commission or fees?
No. You lease directly to Airhost, so there is no letting commission, placement fee or monthly management fee.
How do I know you'll look after my apartment?
We already operate 20+ apartments in Beacon Rock. Every one is cleaned professionally, inspected regularly and maintained by our local team. See our work. Owner testimonials and referrals are available on request.
Is subletting allowed?
Only with written consent in your lease and the permissions that apply to your apartment. We agree the short-term letting arrangement before signing.
What about body corporate rules?
We review the building's rules with you and only go ahead where the necessary consent and requirements can be met.
Who pays utilities and levies?
Utilities, levies and other property costs are set out in the lease. We agree the split with you before you accept an offer.
What about damage and insurance?
We clean, maintain and inspect the apartment. Cover, damage responsibilities and claims are agreed in the lease; please confirm suitable insurance with your insurer.
How long is the lease?
Our standard lease is 12 months, renewing on an ongoing basis. Rent is paid every month, even when the apartment is empty.
What happens at the end of the lease?
We agree the exit inspection, condition requirements and handover in advance, based on the recorded starting condition.
