Why house rules matter for your vacation rental
House rules are an essential document for any vacation rental or Airbnb host. They set clear expectations for guests and help prevent conflicts, noise complaints, and property damage. Well-written house rules protect both the property owner and the neighbors.
Platforms like Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com strongly encourage hosts to set clear house rules for their listings. Having documented rules also provides legal protection in case of disputes or insurance claims.
With our free house rules generator, you can create a professional document in minutes that is tailored to your property and aligned with vacation rental industry standards.
What to include in your Airbnb house rules
A comprehensive set of house rules for a vacation rental should cover several key categories: check-in and check-out times, noise and quiet hours, smoking and pet policies, cleanliness expectations, and security procedures.
The best house rules also address parking, use of amenities (pool, barbecue, washer), and specific conditions unique to your property. The more thorough your rules, the fewer misunderstandings you will have with guests.
Our tool lets you customize each section with specific times, conditions, and additional rules unique to your property. The result is a clean, numbered, professional document ready to share.
How to communicate rules to your guests
Communicating your house rules is just as important as writing them. We recommend sending them to guests before arrival, displaying them in the property, and including them in your digital welcome book.
On Airbnb, you can add your rules to the "House Rules" section of your listing. However, a complete, formatted document always looks more professional and is easier for guests to reference during their stay.
With LivretAccueil, you can embed your house rules directly into a digital welcome book accessible via QR code. Your guests can access it from their smartphone as soon as they arrive, ensuring they have reviewed all the rules.
