Short-Term Rental Co-Host Agreement

This Short-Term Rental Co-Host Agreement is entered into by and between [Management Company Name], referred to in this Agreement as "Host," and [Property Owner Name], referred to in this Agreement as "Property Owner." Host and Property Owner may be referred to individually as a "Party" and collectively as the "Parties."

Property Owner desires for Host to assist with short-term rental setup, co-hosting, listing support, guest communication, pricing, cleaner coordination, booking support, and other short-term rental hosting services for the Property located at [Property Address]. Host agrees to provide those services subject to the terms and limitations of this Agreement.

The property covered by this Agreement is the residential property located at [Property Address], including the dwelling, furnishings, appliances, fixtures, equipment, utilities, exterior areas, parking areas, and any other areas made available to guests, cleaners, vendors, or Host under this Agreement.

The Parties intend this Agreement to cover short-term rental co-hosting, guest support, listing support, and operational coordination services only. Host is not acting as Property Owner's real estate broker, real estate sales agent, escrow agent, tax advisor, legal advisor, appraiser, insurer, guarantor, fiduciary, or traditional long-term property manager unless a separate written agreement expressly states otherwise and such activity is legally permitted.

Property Owner remains solely responsible for confirming with qualified legal counsel, tax professionals, insurers, lenders, governmental authorities, and any homeowners association that the Property may be used as a short-term rental and that the structure of this Agreement is legally permitted. If any license, permit, registration, approval, or professional requirement applies, Property Owner is responsible for obtaining and maintaining it unless Host expressly agrees in a separate signed writing to handle a specific task.

The maximum number of guests shall be determined based on local law, the configuration, style, design, furnishings, bedroom count, bed count, safety considerations, parking limitations, and platform rules. Host and Property Owner shall agree on the final guest limit before the Property is listed.

Maximum guests allowed for this Property: __________.

Minimum stay shall generally be two consecutive nights on weekends and one night on weekdays unless Host determines that a different minimum stay is commercially reasonable based on seasonality, demand, events, pricing strategy, platform settings, or guest quality controls. No guest stay shall exceed ninety days unless both Parties agree in writing.

Property Owner represents and warrants that Property Owner has full legal authority to enter into this Agreement and to allow the Property to be used as a short-term rental. Property Owner is solely responsible for confirming that the Property may legally be used as a short-term rental under all applicable laws, ordinances, zoning rules, subdivision restrictions, homeowners association rules, mortgage requirements, insurance requirements, platform rules, and private covenants.

Property Owner shall obtain, maintain, and pay for all licenses, permits, registrations, approvals, inspections, and tax accounts required for the lawful operation of the Property as a short-term rental, unless Host expressly agrees in writing to perform a specific task on behalf of Property Owner. Host shall not be liable for any fine, penalty, loss, claim, suspension, cancellation, or enforcement action arising from Property Owner's failure to comply with this section.

Host shall have no obligation to list, advertise, open the booking calendar, or accept reservations for the Property until Host has received or confirmed all items Host reasonably requires for launch, including proof of short-term rental insurance, confirmation of applicable permits or licenses, tax registration information, safety devices, smart lock access, utility service, internet service, approved house rules, listing photos, and confirmation that the Property is clean, furnished, safe, and guest ready.

Host may delay, pause, block, or decline launch if Host reasonably believes the Property is unsafe, non-compliant, under-insured, unfinished, not properly furnished, not properly supplied, or otherwise likely to create guest, platform, legal, refund, or liability risk.

Host, its employees, contractors, cleaners, vendors, and representatives may access the Property as reasonably necessary to perform services under this Agreement, including inspections, repairs, cleaning, restocking, staging, guest support, maintenance coordination, photography, and emergency response.

During periods of vacancy, Host may conduct routine checks, maintenance reviews, appliance testing, property inspections, and guest experience reviews. Overnight stays by Host, employees, contractors, or representatives are not permitted without prior written approval from Property Owner, except in a documented emergency or operational necessity. Any approved operational stay must be for a legitimate business purpose, and the Property must be cleaned, reset, and returned to rent-ready condition afterward.

Owner approved Host stays: ☐ Yes ☐ No

Property Owner shall not enter, occupy, inspect, repair, show, or allow any other person to enter the Property during a guest stay except in an emergency or with prior written coordination through Host. Property Owner shall provide Host with reasonable advance notice of any desired personal use, maintenance block, owner stay, showing, inspection, or other unavailable date. Property Owner is responsible for all cleaning, resetting, supply replacement, damage, missing items, and lost booking revenue caused by Property Owner's personal use or unauthorized access.

During the term of this Agreement, Property Owner shall not list, advertise, rent, book, or allow any other person or company to list, advertise, rent, or book the Property without Host's prior written approval. All owner stays, personal use, maintenance blocks, and direct booking requests must be coordinated through Host.

Property Owner shall not accept side bookings, cash bookings, private rentals, direct rentals, or platform bookings outside Host's approved calendar and booking process. Property Owner is responsible for any double booking, guest dispute, refund, penalty, chargeback, cancellation, lost revenue, or guest claim caused by Property Owner's unauthorized booking activity or failure to coordinate through Host.

Daily rental amounts will be determined after analysis of the area, comparable properties, event demand, occupancy data, platform performance, seasonality, and other relevant market factors. Host will review this information for Property Owner so that an incremental pricing strategy can be implemented after listing the Property, with the goal of reaching strong market performance within approximately ninety days.

Suggested minimum starting nightly rental rate: $________.

Property Owner acknowledges that short-term rental performance depends on market conditions, seasonality, competition, guest demand, pricing, reviews, platform algorithms, weather, events, economic conditions, and other factors outside Host's control. Host does not guarantee any specific occupancy rate, nightly rate, gross revenue, net revenue, profit, guest review, platform ranking, or booking volume. Any projected revenue, suggested nightly rate, or estimate provided by Host is for planning purposes only and is not a promise, warranty, or guarantee.

Cleaning fee: $________ per stay, unless adjusted by Host due to market rates, cleaner rates, Property size, guest count, extended stays, guest condition, platform rules, or operational needs.

Applicable taxes may include state, county, city, local, lodging, sales, occupancy, tourism, or other taxes and fees. Local tax rates and any other applicable rates shall be handled according to applicable law, platform collection procedures, and any tax accounts required for the Property.

Cleaning fees are intended to compensate cleaning staff and may also be used for cleaning-related items, laundry, resetting the Property, or consumables if cleaning revenue exceeds actual cleaning labor for a particular month. Security deposits, damage deposits, pet fees, and other guest charges may be set by Host as commercially reasonable and as allowed by platform rules.

For purposes of this Agreement, "Gross Rental Revenue" means amounts actually received from guest bookings for nightly rental charges, less refunds, cancellations, chargebacks, platform adjustments, discounts, and taxes. Gross Rental Revenue does not include cleaning fees, security deposits, damage reimbursements, pet fees, taxes, platform fees, owner reimbursements, insurance proceeds, or pass-through charges unless expressly stated otherwise in writing.

Unlike a passive listing arrangement, short-term rental co-hosting requires daily guest communication, pricing support, cleaning coordination, calendar support, listing updates, issue resolution, review support, and operational oversight. The Parties agree that Host's compensation is performance based.

Host fee: __% of Gross Rental Revenue.

Property Owner share: __% of Gross Rental Revenue.

Monthly payouts to Property Owner shall be made by the 15^th of the following month for the previous month's revenue earned, provided that funds have been received, reconciled, and are not subject to refund, chargeback, platform hold, dispute, or adjustment. A monthly report or statement shall accompany the payment confirmation. Payment timing and amount may vary based on occupancy, booking volume, platform payout timing, chargebacks, refunds, cleaning charges, expenses, and seasonal demand.

Host may deduct from any amount payable to Property Owner any Host fees, software fees, startup costs, cleaning charges, repairs, supplies, reimbursements, chargebacks, refunds, platform penalties, unpaid invoices, guest relocation costs, collection costs, or other amounts owed by Property Owner under this Agreement.

If amounts owed by Property Owner exceed current available payouts, Property Owner shall pay the unpaid balance within fifteen days of invoice unless a shorter period is required due to a guest issue, emergency repair, platform deadline, legal requirement, or safety issue.

Property Owner shall maintain an operating reserve of $________ with Host or otherwise available for immediate use for repairs, supplies, guest issues, emergency work, and other Property expenses. Host may replenish the reserve from owner payouts. If the reserve is depleted, Host may suspend bookings until the reserve is restored.

The operating reserve is not a guarantee that expenses will be limited to the reserve amount. Property Owner remains responsible for all Property expenses, guest-related charges, approved repairs, emergency repairs, reimbursements, chargebacks, refunds, and other amounts due under this Agreement.

Host shall provide the following services as part of the monthly co-host fee:

The following items are expected before listing: fully furnished home, kitchen essentials, reliable high-speed internet if available, smart television, active utilities, washer and dryer, guest linens, towels, basic housewares, cleaning supplies, and removal or secure storage of personal items.

The following costs shall be billed by Host to Property Owner in preparation for listing the Property. Startup costs are due up front unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Startup fee: up to $________.

The startup fee may include initial property consultation, listing preparation, professional photoshoot coordination, arranging photos, photo assets provided to Property Owner after the shoot subject to photographer license terms, comprehensive guidebook to local attractions and restaurants, guest house manual, necessary waivers, listing on Airbnb, VRBO, movie or media platforms if applicable, claims adjuster sites if applicable, emergency contact sheet visible to guests, marketing narrative for the Property and amenities, and setup of automated communication channels with cleaners, guests, Host or front desk, and maintenance providers as needed.

The startup scope may also include or coordinate the following items when applicable:

7. Safety items such as fire extinguishers, anti-slip tape, smoke detectors, extra door locks, etc.

Any item listed above that is already in place may be used, if compatible with Host's software and operating standards, and may lower the startup fee.

Airbnb and VRBO generally charge guest, host, or platform fees rather than a standard monthly listing fee. Airbnb and VRBO may deduct applicable fees before payout. VRBO may bill certain fees in arrears, and those fees may appear on the monthly statement.

Host charges a $________ monthly software platform fee. This fee covers or contributes to short-term rental software, pricing software, cleaner coordination software, web hosting, domain names, automation tools, and other software or technology used to operate the Property.

Property Owner acknowledges that the Property may be listed on short-term rental sites, direct booking sites, and related platforms under Host's company accounts, not under an account owned individually by Property Owner. This allows Host to provide guest service, operations, reputation, platform issue handling, and owner service in a consistent manner.

Property Owner acknowledges and agrees that the Property may be listed under Host's company accounts, direct booking website, software systems, pricing tools, and communication systems. Host shall have authority to handle pricing, listing content, calendars, guest communication, house rules, refunds, discounts, claims, reviews, cleaner coordination, and booking settings in a commercially reasonable manner.

Upon termination, Host shall not be required to transfer ownership of Host's platform accounts, reviews, software accounts, templates, automations, website content, pricing data, guest lists, guest communication history, or proprietary business processes. Property-specific photos paid for by Property Owner may be provided to Property Owner unless restricted by photographer license terms or third-party rights.

Host owns or controls all listing descriptions, pricing strategy, automation templates, guest messaging templates, guidebooks, listing structure, website content, direct booking workflows, and operating processes created by Host. Property-specific photographs paid for by Property Owner may be provided to Property Owner after termination, subject to photographer license terms and third-party rights.

Property Owner shall not copy, reuse, recreate, transfer, or provide Host's templates, guest communication workflows, pricing processes, automations, direct booking content, or proprietary operating materials to another host, vendor, competitor, or service provider without Host's prior written consent.

By signing this Agreement, Property Owner approves Host's use of automation when needed and when reasonably necessary to maximize efficiency and provide a better guest experience. Automation may include guest service communications, maid service scheduling, routine maintenance coordination, pricing tools, calendar rules, task management, review reminders, and other processes used for efficient listing operation. The need to automate services may depend on occupancy rates, revenue, guest volume, and operational complexity. Certain automation costs may be passed through to guests or Property Owner when commercially reasonable and disclosed in the monthly statement.

Host will coordinate ordinary maintenance and guest-related repair issues, but Property Owner remains solely responsible for the cost, condition, safety, legality, and habitability of the Property. Property Owner is responsible for all repairs, maintenance, replacements, improvements, safety corrections, code compliance work, pest control, lawn care, utility service, appliance service, HVAC service, plumbing service, electrical service, roof repairs, structural repairs, and other property-related expenses.

Host may authorize routine repairs up to $________ per occurrence without prior approval from Property Owner. Host may authorize emergency repairs in any reasonable amount necessary to protect guests, protect the Property, prevent further damage, restore essential services, comply with law, or preserve active bookings. Property Owner shall reimburse Host for all approved or emergency repair costs within 30 days of invoice.

Host is not responsible for any loss, cancellation, refund, guest complaint, bad review, property damage, injury, or claim caused by Property Owner's delay or refusal to approve or complete repairs.

Property Owner shall provide and maintain all required and reasonably necessary safety equipment, including smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors where applicable, fire extinguishers, exterior lighting, secure locks, handrails, stairs, decks, walkways, driveways, appliances, electrical systems, plumbing systems, HVAC systems, and other safety-related items.

Property Owner represents that the Property is safe, habitable, code-compliant, properly maintained, and suitable for short-term rental use. Property Owner shall promptly correct any unsafe, defective, or non-compliant condition identified by Host, a guest, a cleaner, a vendor, an inspector, an insurer, a platform, or a governmental authority.

Property Owner is solely responsible for mold, mildew, pests, insects, rodents, bed bugs, termites, hidden defects, water intrusion, structural issues, environmental conditions, and any claim, refund, cancellation, remediation cost, guest injury, or property damage arising from such conditions unless caused by Host's intentional misconduct or gross negligence.

If Host receives notice of any condition described in this section, Host may pause bookings, block the calendar, relocate guests, approve emergency remediation, or take other commercially reasonable action to reduce guest, platform, legal, safety, or liability risk. Property Owner shall be responsible for all costs and lost revenue associated with such condition unless caused by Host's intentional misconduct or gross negligence.

Property Owner shall provide proper trash receptacles and active trash or recycling service. Host, cleaners, or guests may place trash out for pickup as needed, but Property Owner remains responsible for ensuring that trash service is available and appropriate for the Property.

Property Owner is responsible for lawn care, landscaping, exterior maintenance, pest control, utilities, internet, and any other recurring property services unless the Parties agree in writing that Host will coordinate a specific service at Property Owner's expense.

Any permitted exterior or common area camera must be clearly disclosed in the listing and must comply with all applicable laws, platform rules, and posted notice requirements. Property Owner shall be solely responsible for any claim, fine, penalty, guest refund, platform action, or legal violation arising from undisclosed, improper, defective, or unlawful surveillance equipment unless caused by Host's intentional misconduct.

Host may withhold payouts until required payment and tax documentation is received.

Host may, as part of its services, assist Property Owner in submitting guest damage claims, platform claims, security deposit claims, insurance claims, or reimbursement requests. Property Owner acknowledges that Host does not control Airbnb, VRBO, direct booking platforms, guests, insurers, or payment processors. Host does not guarantee that any claim will be approved, paid, or collected.

Any unrecovered guest damage, deductible, excluded insurance item, chargeback, refund, platform penalty, or unpaid guest balance shall remain the responsibility of Property Owner unless caused by Host's gross negligence or intentional misconduct.

Property Owner acknowledges that guests may overstay, refuse to leave, violate house rules, or claim tenancy rights.

Cleaners, maintenance providers, lawn care providers, repair vendors, photographers, inspectors, pest control providers, and other service providers may be independent contractors and not employees of Host.

Host's total liability to Property Owner for any claim arising under this Agreement shall not exceed the Host fees actually paid to Host for the three months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

This limitation shall not apply to Host's intentional misconduct, gross negligence, or any liability that cannot be limited by law.

Host shall not be responsible for the acts, omissions, decisions, fee changes, policy changes, account actions, ranking changes, search placement, listing suspension, guest refund decisions, payout delays, chargebacks, or other actions of Airbnb, VRBO, direct booking platforms, payment processors, banks, insurers, or other third parties.

Property Owner understands that guest disputes, refund requests, platform claims, review issues, damage claims, and chargebacks may occur in the ordinary course of short-term rental operations. Host may assist with such issues, but final outcomes may be controlled by guests, platforms, payment processors, insurance carriers, or other third parties.

Host shall not be liable for delay, non-performance, cancellation, reduced revenue, guest refund, or other loss caused by events outside Host's reasonable control, including weather, fire, flood, natural disaster, utility outage, internet outage, platform outage, software failure, payment processor issue, governmental order, labor shortage, vendor delay, supply shortage, illness, casualty, guest misconduct, crime, neighborhood disruption, or acts of God.

This Agreement begins on the Effective Date and continues for an initial term of one year. After the initial term, this Agreement shall renew for successive one-year terms unless either Party gives written notice of non-renewal or termination as provided below.

Either Party may terminate this Agreement with thirty days written notice. However, termination shall not affect reservations accepted before the termination effective date unless the Parties agree in writing to cancel or transfer such reservations. This Agreement shall continue through the last booked stay accepted under Host's co-hosting arrangement unless the Parties agree otherwise in writing.

In special circumstances, and if both Parties agree to end the relationship in good standing, this Agreement may be terminated on a shorter timeline by a written letter or written agreement signed by both Parties.

If Property Owner terminates this Agreement within the first twelve months, Property Owner shall remain responsible for all unpaid startup costs, software fees, reimbursable expenses, approved repairs, emergency repairs, booked reservation obligations, chargebacks, refunds, guest claims, and Host fees earned or reasonably expected from reservations accepted before termination.

Termination shall not release either Party from obligations that accrued before termination, including payment obligations, indemnity obligations, guest claims, tax obligations, insurance obligations, platform penalties, chargebacks, refunds, attorney fees, and reimbursement obligations.

Property Owner shall honor all accepted reservations unless cancellation is required by law, safety, casualty, platform action, or mutual written agreement. If Property Owner cancels, blocks, sells, occupies, or otherwise makes the Property unavailable for an accepted reservation, Property Owner shall be responsible for all guest refunds, platform penalties, relocation costs, lost Host fees, chargebacks, and related damages.

Property Owner shall provide Host at least thirty days written notice before listing, selling, transferring, leasing, refinancing in a way that affects rental use, or otherwise conveying the Property.

If Property Owner sells or transfers the Property, Property Owner shall either cause the buyer or transferee to honor all accepted reservations in writing or shall remain responsible for all guest refunds, platform penalties, relocation costs, lost Host fees, chargebacks, and related damages caused by cancellation or unavailability.

Host may suspend services, pause bookings, block the calendar, remove the listing, or terminate this Agreement if Property Owner fails to maintain insurance, fails to pay amounts owed, fails to approve necessary repairs, fails to maintain utilities or internet, creates an unsafe condition, violates law or platform rules, makes the Property unavailable for booked guests, or otherwise materially breaches this Agreement.

Host may also pause or block bookings if Host reasonably believes the Property is unsafe, non-compliant, unsuitable for guest occupancy, under-insured, subject to an unresolved legal issue, or likely to create unreasonable guest, platform, or liability risk.

Notices under this Agreement shall be in writing and may be delivered by hand, email, text message, certified mail, or another method reasonably calculated to provide actual notice. Notices to Host shall be sent to [Management Company Name] at [Management Company Address], or to the email or phone number customarily used by the Parties.

If either Party is required to enforce this Agreement, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorney fees, court costs, collection costs, and other expenses, to the extent allowed by law.

Host is an independent contractor and is not an employee, partner, joint venturer, insurer, guarantor, or fiduciary of Property Owner. Nothing in this Agreement creates a partnership, joint venture, employment relationship, or guarantee of financial performance.

This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the Parties regarding the Property and supersedes all prior discussions, drafts, proposals, texts, emails, or verbal statements regarding the subject matter of this Agreement. Any amendment must be in writing and signed by both Parties. If a proposal, statement of work, startup cost document, or property-specific addendum is attached to or incorporated into this Agreement, this Agreement controls unless the later written document expressly states that it supersedes a specific section of this Agreement.

If any provision of this Agreement is found unenforceable, invalid, or contrary to law, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect to the fullest extent allowed by law. Any unenforceable provision shall be interpreted or modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable while preserving the Parties' original intent as closely as possible.
