How rental operations actually run
Field notes on turnovers, cleaning teams, maintenance and owner reporting — the parts of short-term rental management nobody writes about until something goes wrong at 11am on a Saturday.
Written by the team behind Rent4me, a Zagreb agency that ran 50 of its own apartments for five years — Torro came out of that operation. No theory, no filler: how we did it and what it cost us to learn.
The first guides land here shortly
We are writing them from our own operation rather than paraphrasing other people's blogs, so they take a while. These are the ones in progress:
- Sequencing a 10am check-out and a 2pm check-in with one team
- How long an apartment turnover actually takes, by size
- Commission models agencies use, and why owners accept them
- What to do when a cleaner cancels two hours before check-in
- Paying cleaners: per job, hourly or salaried
- Linen: in-house laundry versus an external service
- Building an owner report owners actually trust
- Peak-season staffing maths for 20, 50 and 100 apartments
In the meantime, the help centre covers how Torro handles each of these, and the operations overview walks through a full day of turnovers.
