About this Gig
Your biggest risks as a host are guest injury and property damage. Is your agreement strong enough to protect you?
Especially for hosts who take direct bookings, a generic lease is a financial liability waiting to happen. As a licensed US attorney, I will draft a specialized Vacation Rental Occupancy Agreement designed with one primary goal: protecting you and your assets.
This is not a standard tenant lease. This is a commercial occupancy contract that establishes the guest as a licensee, not a tenant, which is critical for your protection and control over the property
This Agreement Is Focused On
- Ironclad Liability Waiver: Language crafted to minimize your responsibility for guest accidents, especially around pools, stairs, or other property features
- Comprehensive Damage Provisions: Clearly defines what constitutes damage vs. wear-and-tear, and outlines the guest's financial responsibility
- Security Deposit Protocol: Establishes your right to hold and claim against a security deposit for specified reasons
- Indemnification Clause: A key legal provision where the guest agrees to cover legal costs if their actions lead to a lawsuit
Don't be bankrupted by one bad guest. Order now.

FAQ
What's the difference between this and your other agreement gig?
My other gig is an all-purpose STR agreement for platforms like Airbnb. This gig is hyper-focused on liability and damage protection, making it ideal for hosts with valuable properties, high-risk amenities (pools, etc.), or those who use direct booking websites.
Can a guest really sign away their right to sue me?
While no agreement can prevent someone from filing a lawsuit, a well-drafted liability waiver and assumption of risk clause can be a powerful defense and may lead to a quick dismissal of the case. It shows the guest was aware of and accepted the risks.
Will this work for my property with a pool/hot tub/boat dock?
Yes! The Standard and Premium packages are specifically designed for this. I will draft specific addenda with language that addresses the unique risks associated with these amenities.
How do I get guests to sign this?
You make it a mandatory step in your booking process. For direct bookings, it's part of the reservation confirmation. For Airbnb/VRBO, you can state in your listing that a separate rental agreement is required and send it via the platform's messaging system for an e-signature.
Is an e-signature on this agreement legally binding?
Yes, in the United States, electronic signatures are generally considered legally binding for this type of agreement under the E-SIGN Act.
Does this service create an attorney-client relationship?
No, this is a freelance legal document preparation service. It does not constitute legal advice for your specific situation or establish a formal attorney-client relationship.
