About this document
These are terms and conditions for renting a holiday property. For your ease, it is designed in a way so that you don't negotiate and redraw each time you let your holiday property. Once it is edited, it can be given as standard to every person or group that lets your property.
It can be used for any kind of property. You can have a villa, a cottage, a city flat or a ski chalet. It is suitable to use this document whether the holiday booking is for one night or for a couple of months,
However, it is not suitable for a business letting or for a holiday stay of more than four months primarily so that the guests do not acquire tenancy rights and protection under the law.
For whatever term you allow the guests to stay, it is important to use an inventory before the occupation. Because you cannot expect the return to you at the end of the period of items not listed. You can use our example “Property Inventory” free version.
We use plain English language. The advantage is that the document is not only easy to edit, but also your guests will understand their obligations to look after your property.
The law in this document
The law in this document is common law. It deals with the basics of the formation of contracts. This means that you can set the commercial terms however you want. Our guidance notes will explain what you can alter safely or what is better left as is.
Alternative documents
We also offer a holiday house letting agreement which needs to be signed by both parties. This is useful if you are not in the regular business of holiday letting and want to have a one-off agreement with the guests.
You will also find terms and conditions for different business models: a hotel or bed and breakfast business.
If you have a website then you can post these terms and conditions on your website but you may need additional terms and conditions if you take online bookings. Browse through our website terms and conditions to find a suitable template.
