Abstract

Systems and methods may analyze property telematics data, with homeowner permission or affirmative consent, to update risk-based coverage of a property, such as a house, during a short-term rental. The systems include a renter analytics computing device, a plurality of property telematics devices at the property, including at least one sensor, and a property telematics controller. The renter analytics computing device is configured to retrieve a pre-rental record including parameters of a short-term rental of the property, and retrieve property telematics data, from the property telematics devices, associated with the short-term rental. The renter analytics computing device may develop a risk level profile associated with the short-term rental and determine an adjusted coverage rate to cover the property during the short-term rental. As a result, a homeowner of the property may be protected against damages incurred to the property during the short-term rental.
