**The problem it solves** Short-term rental hosts face security deposit friction: guests resent holding large deposits, and recovering funds after damage requires documentation, negotiation, and review risk when pursuing guests for reimbursement. **What Strly does** Strly is a UK-based accidental damage-waiver protection service for the short-term rental industry. It replaces the traditional security deposit with a per-booking damage waiver covering guest-caused accidental damage, and includes a complimentary guest verification tool on every protected reservation. **How it works** Guests purchase a damage waiver at the point of booking, or hosts absorb the cost via the PayByHost option, paying a small nonrefundable fee in place of a returnable deposit. The waiver covers all guest-caused accidental damage with no minimums, no deductibles, and no excluded item categories within coverage limits. If damage occurs, hosts submit a notice to Strly and receive reimbursement within 72 hours, and Strly handles the process without contacting the guest, protecting the host's review rating. The service carries no monthly costs, listing fees, or subscription charges; the only cost is the per-booking waiver fee. The platform is automated, integrates with Hostfully PMS workflows, and is available worldwide. **Who it's for** Short-term rental hosts and property managers of any size worldwide seeking to remove security deposit friction, automate damage protection, and reduce the risk of guest disputes after damage claims.
