The Most Common Safety Mistakes Property Managers Make with Justin Ford of Breezeway

Episode notes

In Part 1 of this two-part episode, safety expert Justin Ford joins host Lynell Gordon on The Vacation Rental Show to tackle the safety blind spots costing property managers money, guests their wellbeing, and operators their businesses. Justin is the Director of Safety and Certification Programs at Breezeway and the industry's foremost authority on short-term rental safety — having trained over 10,000 professionals and personally inspected thousands of properties worldwide. In this episode, Justin breaks down why the home is statistically the most dangerous place a guest will ever stay, and why complacency is the real enemy of safe operations. He covers EV charger installation risks, how guests use properties in ways operators never anticipate, the alarming deck failure rate across the US, federal standards for bunk bed construction, and why he would ban lofts entirely if given the chance.
