      What Is a Rental Contract in Jurny?

      A rental contract is the agreement your guests must accept when booking directly through your Jurny-powered website.

      Typically, a rental contract includes:

      • House rules

      • Guest responsibilities

      • Damage and liability clauses

      • Insurance or protection details

      • What is and isn’t allowed at the property

      Note: Rental contracts are automatically applied to direct bookings only.
      They are not sent automatically for OTA bookings (Airbnb, Booking.com, etc.).

      Important Things to Know Before You Start

      • Guests booking directly will be required to agree to your default rental contract

      • OTA bookings do not receive this contract through automated messages

      • If you want guests to sign the contract digitally, you can enable this using the Autohost integration
