NOTE: Short term rental platforms including VRBO consider any area with a bed a "bedroom". That is not something the host can control- so read the details, please. "Bedroom" does not imply walls.

Because of recent experience with undocumented persons attempting to gain access to the home, it has become necessary for the host to institute tighter security measures.
