Vacation Rental Co-Host & Management Agreement Template: Property Management Contract
Full description
For co-hosts, small property managers and owners who hand a short-term rental to someone else to run. The template sets out who does what, how fees and payouts work, how much the manager may spend without asking, and what happens to bookings when the agreement ends. You fill in the bracketed fields, delete the options you do not use and have the final text checked locally.
Save with a bundle: this template is also in the Vacation Rental Business Bundle, 10 templates for $29 instead of $69. All 141 templates are in the All-Access Hospitality Template Library for $79.
