York & North Yorkshire · Short-term Rental Management
Your property.
Effortlessly managed.
We run your Airbnb from listing to checkout — our service aims to help you earn more while doing less.
About Gable & Key
We manage your Airbnb like it's our own.
York is one of the UK's most visited cities — but great properties underperform every day due to poor management. Gable & Key exists to close that gap and aims to help you earn more — income is not guaranteed. We're a focused, local co-hosting service that treats every property with the attention it deserves.

Questions
Good to know.
No. If your property isn't listed yet, we set everything up from scratch. If it's already live, we take over and optimise.
20% of gross booking revenue. No setup fees, no monthly retainers, no charge during empty periods. You only pay when you earn.
Absolutely. You see every booking, set blackout dates for personal use, and approve house rules. It's your property — we run the day-to-day.
After the initial 3-month term, 30 days' written notice ends the arrangement. Confirmed bookings are honoured unless you direct otherwise.
You pay the cleaner directly. We coordinate the cleans and add no markup.
Access to the property, house details, any existing listing, and your insurance and safety certificates.
Often yes. Check your mortgage terms or lease before listing. We'll go through this with you before going live.
We'll check the current requirements with you before going live, including insurance, safety and any local rules, which are changing.
Standard residential insurance doesn't cover short-term letting. We'll advise you on what you need before going live.
