About RentalWe

RentalWe is an independent publication for people who run short-term rentals — hosts with one unit, hosts with twenty, and the people deciding whether to become either.

Why this exists

Most writing about short-term rentals is produced by companies selling software to short-term rental hosts. The advice is often good and the incentive is always visible: the article ends where the product begins.

The rest is split between market-data terminals that are hard to act on and personal blogs that are hard to verify. What is missing is the thing a trade publication does — work through an operating question with the arithmetic shown, say where the numbers came from, and note the date the rules were checked.

Who writes it

RentalWe was founded in 2026 and is based in Da Nang, Vietnam. It is run by a team of writers and editors. Our writers include Cina, a short-term rental host and co-host with five years of experience, and every piece is edited before it is published; the team is responsible for everything on the site. We are not a large newsroom and do not pretend to be one: what we offer is a method rather than a claim to have done everything — each question is worked through from the primary documents (the ordinance, the platform's own policy, the tax authority's page), the arithmetic is shown, a second person reads every piece that makes a claim about money or law, and the date each rule was last checked is on the page. Where a piece draws on a host's first-hand operating experience, it says whose.

Every article carries a byline linking to a full biography, the date it was published, and the date it was last reviewed. Where an article makes a claim about money or about law, it cites a primary source with the date that source was read.

What we do not do

We do not manage anyone's property, take booking commissions, or sell a course. We do not publish sponsored articles or accept payment for a review. We do not republish other people's writing.
