What if your regular go-to person is busy? Well, with TIDY, you can automate all the cleaning and maintenance tasks your property needs to ensure everything is kept in pristine condition for every one of your guests.
Lodgify’s mission is to provide you with the best tools to support the success of your short-term rental business.

What are the benefits of using TIDY?
Manage everything in one place
TIDY gives you a bird’s-eye view of your properties, reservations, and tasks, allowing you to easily manage and track everything in one place.
You can use TIDY to automate the cleaning and maintenance processes for your vacation rental between check-in and check-out using verified professionals, or you can use your own professionals and use TIDY to track and manage their maintenance tasks, requests, invoices, and receipts for each property.
Either way, TIDY helps you run your vacation rental turnovers smoothly and efficiently.
Auto-schedule jobs
In TIDY, auto-schedule jobs provide an efficient and convenient way to schedule cleaning and maintenance for your short-term rentals. This feature ensures that your rental is always prepared for guests by coordinating cleaning with professional cleaners based on guest check-in and checkout times.
If the assigned cleaner is unavailable, the system automatically posts the job to an alternative cleaner as a backup. This way, you don’t have to worry about scheduling cleanings, and your rentals will always look spotless.
Create digital to-do lists per property
In TIDY, you can add custom tasks, showing your staff precisely what needs to be done and how it should be carried out. This is perfect for things like taking out the trash, watering the plants, or cleaning the dishes, so your guests don’t have to.
With the digital to-do list, you can keep track of all the tasks that need to be completed for each property, ensuring that nothing falls through the cracks. These lists can be accessed from any device, allowing you to easily update and check off tasks from anywhere, at any time.
The to-do lists will also automatically offer some suggestions for cleaning, allowing you to upload photos or set the priority levels of the tasks, so you can sit back and relax.
Schedule automatic payments
Instead of manually processing and tracking expenses, With TIDY, you can utilize the automatic payment system to simplify and streamline the payment process for cleaning services. This saves time and effort and ensures quick and secure payment processing.
It has a unique feature that enables you to customize your reports for the invoices and receipts, which can then be exported into .csv or .pdf format with just one click.
The automatic payment system helps you to manage these services and protect your financial information efficiently.
What is the cost?
TIDY offers its software for free for those with less than two rentals, then $10 per property per month beyond two.
The free package still includes home maintenance reminders, mapping tools, digital to-do lists, and job management. It is a fantastic tool for both new and experienced short-term rental hosts.
