USE CASE

Maintaining community relationships with privacy-safe noise monitoring

The challenge

After receiving complaints from neighbors about its properties, Check Vienna wanted to ensure a peaceful coexistence between its rentals and their communities. The team was looking for a device that could alert them in real-time to any excessive noise levels, party risks, or over-occupancy, without recording or compromising guest privacy. With parties also often resulting in property damage, the overall goal was to de-escalate parties and excessive guest noise to reduce costs, and help build a stronger relationship with neighbors.

“We are so happy to have found such a reliable solution in Minut, we see a huge amount of value across the business.”

The solution

Minut's privacy-safe devices provides Check Vienna with real-time monitoring of indoor and outdoor noise, occupancy rates, motion, and temperature and humidity, sending instant alerts when needed—all without recordings. Being proactive allows the team to address potential disturbances before they become complaints, strengthening their relationship with neighbors. By using the Guest Connect feature, Check Vienna can communicate directly with guests via messaging, avoiding the need for on-site visits. Overall, Minut has not only reduced the frequency of noise issues and improved community relations but also freed up the team's time to focus on expanding the business.

Check Vienna's future plans

Check Vienna is looking to start using Minut’s cigarette smoke detection as part of its monitoring procedure. While noise monitoring has meant fewer parties and property damage, there is still the risk of smoking inside, which affects soft furnishings and guest reviews.
