Thinking of Renting Your Home Out During the World Cup? Here's What You Should Know

Airbnb offers $750 to first-time hosts listing entire homes in 16 World Cup cities to meet surging demand before July 31, the company said.

  • A scan shows some Vancouver listings listed at four and five times normal rates during the tournament dates, with Deloitte estimating Vancouver hosts could earn about $4,200 during the Cup.
