Posted

What are some of the clauses that I should include in my month-to-month lease for Airbnb guests that are staying for 31 days?

I would use a regular lease for over 30 days.


So, right now I discussing a lease agreement with a guest that will be checking in 7 days. The following are some of the clauses he stated that he is not willing to comply with because they leave him exposed to liabilities.

Jointly and Severally Liable (he states that it is not needed because the payment has already been made)

Late Charges( they are not staying longer than a month and payment has already been made)

Security Deposit (not applicable should not be stated on the list)

Possession ( this would be unacceptable as we have an exact term for our stay. Also, the term abated leaves us exposed because the payment has already been made).

Condition of Premises (this requires a physical walkthrough and the description in the Airbnb is not enough to satisfy this part of the lease).

Holding over (not staying for more than a month)

Forcible Detainer (payment already has been made)

Liability for Rent (payment has been made)

Remedies Cumulative (the above states I am not protected by Airbnb policies and guidelines. A rider is needed for this lease to protect my rights)

rules and regulation (agreed as long as a rider/provision are added to the lease to protect my rights).

Should I edit or remove these clauses from the lease agreement?


 This person sounds high maintenance already.

If he is not planning on doing anything shady why does he care about not applicable sections?
