I would like my guest to sign a rental agreement. Where is the rental agreement entered in the airbnb site?
Since to me the main objective of guest-host 'agreements' is to make a potential guest aware of certain realities of my offering and convey some parameters to guest expectations, I use the 'The Space' section "Other Things to Know' in the property description section of Airbnb to try to achieve those objectives.
In my experience, being in the hosting business requires more finesse than some too-formal legal agreement whose clauses are oftentimes non-enforceable and maybe off-putting.
@Fred13 I can agree with you, but too many guests do not read beyond the first paragraph or cannot locate the areas where AirBnB has placed pertinent guest information. Cudos to using your space wisely.
In my case, I am required by the rental laws of my state to provide an actual Rental Agreement to my guests (STR) and tenants (LTR). AirBnB does not provide a means to do this, so I am left with emailing it to the guest and going forward from there.
You are so right, in that they do not read more than the first paragraph. I do find myself re-sending the pertinent information before arrival and also warning the 'leader', who made the reservation that whomever they invite reads this:
" Important to note that over the years we have added many new amenities to the island in a conscious effort to make it's experience for our guests that much better. The commitment from it's start has been to be an affordable, comfortable off-grid get away with a freedom to do as you please while staying in it. It is not a resort nor pretending to be one. There are enough formal, fully catering and by far super expensive resorts available in the world already, so if luxury is your main interest please look elsewhere; but if relaxing, having fun and being free is what you are after, you will definitely be coming to the right place as one can surmise from the hundreds of very kind and grateful reviews we have received over the last 7 years."
nice! thank you for your feedback.
thank you for your feedback, I appreciate it.
thank you for your feedback, much appreciated.
I don't do rental agreements, but a tip I read from a Host that did and had signature requirements for like pool and jacuzzi use. She said she created her own website with her forms and after a reservation is approved she would text the website link to her guests.
I similarly have setup a website with T&Cs and I say, that this is part of your acceptance of booking. You can send a URL in the airbnb message once they have booked. It's not legally enforceable but it seems to be enough for what i have done so far.
