Questions, answered
Why do short-term rental damage claims get denied?
Most often: a missing baseline photo, late filing, screenshots instead of originals, no cost documentation, or damage that reads as normal wear and tear. This scorecard checks for each of these gaps.
What's a good claim-strength score?
80+ means your evidence is in good shape. 50–79 means fixable gaps. Below 50 signals a high denial risk — address the listed gaps before you file.
How can I strengthen a weak claim?
Add a baseline photo, use camera-original files, attach a receipt or estimate, apply depreciation to older items, and file before the deadline. Turnfolio captures all of this automatically.
