Security Deposit

A refundable amount held to cover potential damages caused by guests during their stay.

A security deposit is a sum of money collected from guests at the time of booking, held as collateral against potential property damage. If no damage occurs, it is fully refunded after checkout. Platforms like Airbnb handle damage claims through their AirCover program rather than traditional deposits, while direct bookings and Vrbo listings may collect deposits directly. Security deposits protect owners from repair costs and incentivize guests to treat the property with care.
