Free Short Term Rental Manager
Service Agreement
One wild guest party or a 'slip and fall' lawsuit will drain your bank account before the weekend is over. Without a tight contract, you’re just an unpaid janitor waiting for a subpoena to ruin your life.
Pro Contractor Tip
Insert an 'Indemnification Clause' to ensure the property owner covers your hide when a guest decides to sue or burn the place down.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Short Term Rental Manager, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
The owner is asking me to handle a major plumbing overhaul that wasn't in the deal—how do I stop this?
Your contract defines the fence around your job; if it’s not on the 'Included Services' list, it’s a Change Order with a fresh fee or a flat 'no'.
How do I ensure I get my management fee if the owner handles the booking platform?
Use a 'Right to Offset' or 'Direct Payout' clause in your agreement so your cut is secured before the owner can spend your hard-earned money.
What do I do when a guest breaks something and the owner wants to deduct it from my pay?
Point them to the 'Liability Limitation' section of your signed agreement which specifies you aren't an insurer of the property; guest damage is an owner's business risk, not yours.
