Host guidelines

You decide what happens in your home. Here's what we ask of every homeowner before we list a home, and what you can expect from us.

Before you list

• You own the home, or have the owner's written permission to offer it for filming.
• Check your lease, HOA or building rules for anything about commercial filming.
• Ask your insurance agent how a paid shoot affects your coverage. Normal homeowners policies often don't cover it, which is why productions can be required to bring their own insurance.
• Tell us what you're comfortable with: nudity, simulated scenes, explicit scenes, fetish. You can say no to anything.

Your rules, up front

• Rooms or areas that are off-limits
• The most people you'll allow at once
• Hours, noise, parking and smoking rules
• Pets, pools, balconies or anything else productions should know

We share your rules with every production before they book, and they're written into the agreement.

Cameras and privacy

• Tell us about every security, doorbell or smart camera inside the home. They must be turned off or covered in the areas used for filming.
• Remove or put away mail, documents, family photos and anything that identifies you or the address.
• Your exact address is never published. It's shared only with a confirmed, paid booking.

Listing photos

• Photos must show your actual home, with no people in them.
• Avoid photos of house numbers, street signs, license plates or anything that shows where you live. We'll hide any that slip through.

What we handle

• Screening productions and matching them to homes whose rules fit.
• The location agreement, deposit and, when you want it, the production's certificate of insurance.
• Being your point of contact before, during and after the shoot.
