Renting your place out for a few weeks while you're vacationing in the summer? Get it in writing.
We put together a short-term rental contract you can download, fill in, and hand to whoever's staying. It covers the things that come up: dates, payment, the security deposit, who's on the hook if something breaks, and when they need to be out.
The whole document is editable, so change anything that doesn't fit. Add a line about the cleaning help, drop the deposit if you trust them, swap in your own dates and house rules. Treat it as a starting point.
If your setup is complicated or there's real money on the line, it's worth running past someone who does this for a living. For everything else, it'll save you a long WhatsApp thread and a few awkward conversations down the line.
