Rental lease agreement for AirBNB is that common?
My family is going on vacation this summer and rented through AirBNB. We are staying six days. After booking, the owner sent us a 5 page lease agreement for their property. Probably a more detailed lease than half the landlords out there use for their full time rentals. I have used short term rental services some in the past, but never had someone send me a lease. It honestly made me mad. The place is over $250 a night, 50% cancellation, so it already pretty pro-owner. It is making me rethink STR. I can stay at a hotel and cancel up to 24 hours in advance without signing a contract.
Anyone operating STR use leases? Is that common? Anything I should be worried about?
