The Host Ledger
The Host Ledger mark

Independent · weekly · money-first

Every change that touches a small host’s money.

Platform fees, policy shifts and rules that hit 1–5 property Airbnb and Vrbo hosts — in one short weekly email. Not owned by any tool you buy.

US-primary. Also useful for hosts in Canada, the UK and Australia when platforms move globally.

Free: The Host Fee & Rules Tracker

Current platform fees and money-touching rules in one living doc, with a last-checked date on every entry. Updated monthly. Plus the weekly briefing.

What you getBuilt for operators, not investors

Platform money

Fee and payout changes from Airbnb, Vrbo and peers — scoped by country and account model, sourced, dated.

Rules that bite

House-rule regimes, contact rules, and municipal moves that change what you can charge or require.

Ops signal

Vendor and community noise only when it affects your week — cleaning, messaging, pricing tools.

How we workSourced. Dated. No invented numbers.

Independence

No parent software vendor. Affiliate and sponsor slots are labelled. House products (KeyLedgerDesigns) are labelled as ours.

Accuracy bar

Every Tracker entry carries a last-checked date and a primary source link. Quiet weeks get fewer items — we don’t pad.
