Airbnb.com, the price comparison website, has publicised a case in which a landlord let his property on Gocompare and the renter reportedly left him with £12,000 worth of damage. This case is being used by Airbnb as a warning to people who use Gocompare and similar sites to make sure they have appropriate insurance, and for landlords who do not use agents to vet tenants. Airbnb's Ben Wilson explains that people who wish to rent out their property for extra income must let their insurers know, or they may refuse to pay for any claims.
