Document Templates

Built for UK holiday let owners.
Not generic rental agreements.

Eleven professionally drafted templates — each addressing a specific gap that Airbnb, Booking.com, and Vrbo leave unprotected.

Legally enforceable deposit clauses that hold up under UK law when a guest damages your property — including the Tenant Fees Act 2019 considerations.

Welcome Guide Template

Professional check-in guide covering WiFi codes, appliance instructions, local recommendations, and emergency contacts. Printable and email-ready.

Starter & Pro

Co-Host Agreement

Common Questions

Everything you need to know

Are these templates legally valid in the UK?
Yes. Every template is reviewed against current UK legislation quarterly, including the Housing Act 1988, Consumer Rights Act 2015, Tenant Fees Act 2019, and 2026 regulatory updates.
Do I need a separate contract if I use Airbnb?
Yes. Airbnb provides basic booking terms, but a separate holiday let agreement protects you under UK law for damage deposits, guest behaviour, insurance requirements, and cancellation policies that Airbnb's standard terms do not cover. Most UK holiday let insurers require a written agreement.
Can I edit the templates for my property?
Absolutely. Every template downloads as a fully editable Microsoft Word document. Add your logo, adjust clauses, insert your property address, and tailor every section to your specific set-up.
What happens when UK law changes?
We monitor UK housing and consumer legislation continuously. When a law change affects your templates, we update them and email you the new version — free for the duration of your 12-month subscription period. No extra charges.

Trusted by Cornwall

What Cornwall say about HolidayLetContracts.

"Guest damaged a £600 coffee table and Airbnb's host guarantee was useless. My direct booking agreement had a damage deposit clause — the guest paid within a week. That template saved me £600."

Emma, Holiday Let Owner — Cornwall

"Managing 4 properties, I needed consistent paperwork. The welcome letter template alone saves me 30 minutes per booking. Guests arrive knowing the WiFi, check-in code, and house rules."

Rob, Portfolio Host — Lake District

"The noise and nuisance policy was the game-changer. Had one party booking attempt — showed them the signed terms and they cancelled without argument. My neighbours are happier too."

Jenny, Airbnb Superhost — Brighton
