If you are seriously hurt staying at a vacation rental like VRBO or Airbnb, you may be able to receive compensation for your injuries. Homeowners and hosts who rent their property short-term must take the appropriate steps to ensure the safety of guests staying on their property. When short-term rental owners don’t take this responsibility seriously, their guests could suffer a significant injury.

Florida vacation rentals are a popular alternative to staying at a hotel or resort. Sites like VRBO or Airbnb make connecting travelers with short-term rental properties easy. Whether you are looking for a room with a host family through Airbnb or want to rent an entire house for your family through VRBO, there are countless vacation rental properties available in Florida.
Vacation rentals offer the comforts you would find in your home. Many homes have multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, a living area to hang out in, and a full-size kitchen. You may also find rentals with large backyards, pools, and decks to enjoy an evening sunrise.
While vacation rentals offer many conveniences, they are not free of dangers. The amenities the home has to offer may not be safe if the homeowner does not properly maintain them. And when homeowners do not take appropriate steps to keep their property safe, guests could suffer severe injuries, even death.
Some of the most common dangers guests face when staying at a Florida vacation rental are:
