STR tenant agreement method of delivery

[Kristyn Grimes]

Hey y'all! Happy Friday! I'm about 4 weeks away from opening my first official STR. I'll have another opening here in about 60 days. I'm curious about the method of delivery for fellow str investors rental agreement. Do you send it via docusign? Do you send it via the Airbnb platform and just ask the guest to respond with a message saying they understand and their name? I'm big on using official means of agreements like DocuSign but I wasn't sure how invasive this seems to guests. I would simply just ask for an email and would forward using my DocuSign account. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I have guests sign via Docusign.  I feel like it sets both myself & the guests up for a smooth visit as they know what is expected & what happens if they break the agreement.

I’ve had guests realize they were bringing extra people & that people in their party smoke when they read over the agreement.  Both no smoking & guest limits are listed in my rules on the platforms.

I always feel like I dodged a bullet when guests decide to cancel after reading it.
