Everything you need to run your holiday rental like a business
Managing your own holiday rental property can be much more profitable than using a real estate agent. To get you started we’ve put together a complete package with everything you’ll need:
- Holiday Rental Agreement
- Property Manager Contract
- Inspection Checklist
- Tips & Tricks Guide
Use the Holiday Rental Agreement for each booking
Using a Holiday Rental Agreement ensures your guests know the terms & conditions under which they are renting – plus you’ll be protecting yourself in the event your property is damaged, your guests cancel, etc.
Just fill in your property details and save the Word template. Then for each new booking just add the guest information: name and address, dates, the price you are charging, number of guests, etc. Have the renter sign the agreement and you’re done!
Use the Property Manager Contract to engage a manager
If you’ve decided to engage a property manager to help you look after your property you should have a written agreement with them that agrees and specifies what duties they will perform and the fee they will receive. Agree management duties such as:
- Meet and greet guests
- Cleaning or managing cleaners
- Answering guest queries and troubleshooting
- Managing bookings and taking payments, etc.
Make sure you keep an up-to-date Inspection Checklist
Have a list of everything in your holiday rental property – just in case anything is damaged, broken or stolen. The list will show guests you are a professional operator – and may even dissuade parties, damage and people from removing any items. Then use this list for property inspection when a guest leaves. We’ve included a Word template in our package to help get you started.

Is the holiday rental package right for me?
Perfect. You need the Legal123 holiday rental package. It has everything you need to start renting your property as a holiday rental and managing it professionally.
I self-manage my holiday rental property …
Then you don’t need the Property Manager Contract. But you do need a signed Holiday Rental Agreement and Inspection Checklist with every booking.
When renting through Stayz, guests agree to the Stayz “Code of Conduct” – this is not a legally binding agreement. If there is damage to your property, your insurance company will need to see a proper agreement with your renter (to check the bond, etc.). So use a professionally written Holiday Rental Agreement.
