Hosteeva, as an STR Platform, is required to submit monthly (short) data reports and quarterly (long) reports that include fees collected for each booked night to the City of Seattle. The difference between them is that while submitting the short report, we only provide the number of active listings, property names, and license numbers for the previous month. When we submit the quarterly report, we also provide data for three months, which includes the number of nights sold.
