# For guests

Source: https://app.rentiqa.com/help/renters

A guest (called a renter in the app) books short stays from hosts. The typical path: search and save places, book, get your check-in details, stay, check out, and leave a review.

## Guides

- [Find a stay](https://app.rentiqa.com/help/renters/find-a-stay.md): Search short-term stays by place, dates, price and party size, read a listing, and know which places you can book.
- [Save and share lists](https://app.rentiqa.com/help/renters/save-and-share-lists.md): Keep homes you like in named lists, share a list with a link, or plan a trip together with friends.
- [Book a stay](https://app.rentiqa.com/help/renters/book-a-stay.md): The four booking steps, what you pay and when, and the difference between a request the host approves and an instant booking.
- [Your trips](https://app.rentiqa.com/help/renters/your-trips.md): Follow a booking from request to stay on the Trips page, see what each status means, and message your host.
- [Check in and check out](https://app.rentiqa.com/help/renters/check-in-and-check-out.md): Where to find the address, arrival instructions and door code, and what Check in and Check out do.
- [Cancel a booking](https://app.rentiqa.com/help/renters/cancel-a-booking.md): Cancel from your trip page before you check in, and see what you get back before you confirm.
- [Leave a review](https://app.rentiqa.com/help/renters/leave-a-review.md): Rate your stay after you check out. Your review shows on the listing with your first name, and the host can reply.
- [Damage claims](https://app.rentiqa.com/help/renters/damage-claims.md): If a host reports damage after a stay with a security deposit, you approve or dispute it before the deadline. Nothing is charged without your approval or Rentiqa's review.
