For property managers, few documents carry as much weight as the Owner Statement. It’s more than a financial report — it’s the foundation of trust between you and your homeowners. In this article, we’ll break down why owner statements matter, what they should include, and how CiiRUS makes delivering them seamless.

Why the Owner Statement Matters

In vacation rental management, owner relationships are everything. Guests may generate the revenue, but owners supply the inventory that makes your business possible. Their trust in you depends on transparency — and nothing communicates that more clearly than the Owner Statement.

An owner statement is more than a balance sheet. It’s a monthly (or even weekly) touchpoint that tells your homeowners:

• How much income their property generated
• What expenses were deducted
• How much they’re being paid out
• That you’re managing their home responsibly and profitably

Put simply, the owner statement is the receipt for your management services.

What Owners Expect

Today’s homeowners are more savvy than ever. They expect their statements to be:

• Accurate – Numbers must reconcile down to the cent.
• Timely – Delivered consistently and on schedule.
• Transparent – Easy to understand, with clear breakdowns of income and expenses.
• Professional – Branded, well-formatted, and free of errors.

If your statements are late, confusing, or inaccurate, owners lose confidence fast. A poor experience here can outweigh even strong rental performance.

Anatomy of a Great Owner Statement

A professional statement should answer the homeowner’s biggest question: “Where did my money go?”

Key components include:

• Rental Income: All guest bookings, broken down by channel (Airbnb, Vrbo, direct, etc.)
• Taxes & Fees: Withheld and reported properly
• Deductions: Cleaning, maintenance, management fees, and other expenses
• Owner Payout: Final net income transferred to the owner

CiiRUS allows you to go further by including:

• Reservation-level detail so owners can see exactly which stays contributed to earnings
• Automated formatting that ensures every statement is uniform and professional
• Custom branding to make reports feel like they come directly from your company
