Set up your first rental (short-term, long-term or hybrid)

Understand the three rental types in Keyio and create your first one.

The three rental types

A rental in Keyio is either short-term (vacation/tourist stays, with calendar sync and guest registration), long-term (a lease with a contract, tenants, and a payment ledger), or hybrid (a property you switch between both uses over time). Choosing the type determines which features appear for that rental — for example, only long-term and hybrid rentals get a payment ledger and escalation tools.

  1. 1Open a property and click "Add Rental."
  2. 2Choose short-term, long-term, or hybrid.
  3. 3For long-term/hybrid: add the tenant(s) and lease dates — you can attach a contract later.
  4. 4For short-term/hybrid: connect your calendar sync so bookings flow in automatically (see Calendar & Bookings).
