The Host accepts and agrees to participate  in the required in-person inspection process, which takes place prior to guest move-in. This includes granting access to an authorized and professional third-party inspector who will assess the property in detail. CRUHomes provides resources to help hosts prepare and pass this inspection. It is critical that properties meet the required standards, as a failed inspection may delay or jeopardize a guest’s move-in. Certification is typically completed prior to guest move-in and may be revoked if the property no longer meets our standards.Note: Hestia certification was previously offered as a standalone service, even without a confirmed booking. Today, it is an integrated part of the leasing process for CRUHomes properties. SEE MORE...‍
