[Q=bryanl161] As an owner looking to rent my week out, I want to be verified. Verified and secure also provides that the payment goes through Redweek and all parties involved are better protected. The fee to the owner is actually $99 for that service, but in my opinion well worth it for the safer transaction.[/Q] "Verified" only (i.e., not "verified [b]and[/b] "protected") is just $14.99 more than the basic rental listing fee, with NO additional cost to the tenant. "Verified and protected" however involves [b]additional[/b] fees to the tenant, [b]above[/b] the rental cost. Additionally, with "verified and protected", no rental payment is released to the owner until 2 days into the actual occupancy dates, something which many owners find unacceptable; YMMV. In short, that "protection" component comes at a cost to the tenant in additional fees and to the owner in timely receipt of payment.
