Important camera note
Your current description says cameras are inside the common lobby, second-floor lobby, and third-floor lobbies. Before keeping that on Vrbo, I would verify whether Vrbo allows indoor cameras in shared/common areas for your property type. If not, those cameras should be disabled for Vrbo bookings or removed from guest-accessible indoor areas. For Vrbo-safe listing language, I would only use:
No indoor cameras or recording devices are located inside guest accommodations, bedrooms, bathrooms, or private interior guest spaces. Exterior cameras may monitor entrances, parking areas, driveway areas, and shared outdoor access points. Noise monitoring devices may measure decibel levels only and do not record conversations.
