Should I disclose stairs in a listing?

Published October 1, 2026 · 1 minute read

The answer

Describe stairs and other access features clearly where they affect the guest experience. Explain the route to the entrance and key rooms rather than relying on a broad suitability label. Useful photographs and measured details can help guests decide.

A guest should not discover an important access limitation only after arrival. Review platform fields and applicable obligations for the current listing process.

This answer is general education. Apply it to the property's actual location, agreements, and circumstances. Where a decision requires professional advice, use a qualified adviser.
