The rules & regulations of the country where you have or wish your dream home to be will be discussed on a one to one basis.

As a company Wannavilla feel safety is of the upmost importance to guests and owners alike. Each property will be inspected by our company or affiliates and will not be placed into management /rental programmes until the following are in place:

• Fire Extinguisher
• Double locking system on all exterior doors
• Smoke alarms must be in all sleep areas and living areas
• Signage displayed for guests use
• Where a swimming pool is applicable - alarms fitted to door and windows leading to pool area (Florida properties which have child safety fences erected do not require alarms)

Taxes

Different countries and regions have specific laws regarding tax charged on rentals. Some countries/regions are exempt, others charge as Value Added Tax, whilst to others it is known as Tourist and Sales tax.

It sounds more complicated than it is.

Taxes are the responsibility of the property owner, but rest assured we at WannaVilla will provide all the help you may require to stay "legal" in the country of your dream home.

All Owners of rental properties must have a current insurance policy in effect, a copy of which must be kept on file at our head office.

Monthly Accounting Statements

Each owner will receive an accounting statement of all monies received and all expenses incurred relating to their rental property.
