Great advice-I think most people will aim to be fair, however therein lies the problem -different people have very different ideas of what constitutes fair. I tend to ensure the T and C s are well in my favour so i can be "fair" if i want to be Craig Douglas's last blog post..New Feature: 2 Month Calendar Widget

Some good advice on a tricky subject.

As mentioned it’s a good idea to clearly state your cancellation policy in your terms and make sure the renter signs to agree to these when booking.

Recommend taking out travel insurance to cover cancellation.

During these difficult times it could be hard to identify the genuine cancellations due to illness etc. and those who have changed their mind due to finances. Either way, we, the rental owners should not loose out.

This blog offers great advice – still amazes me how many property owners dont have proper terms and conditions in place. As stated in the blog above a proper system in place gives owners a sound policy to protect themselves in case of cancelations.
