If you are looking to manage someone’s property on Airbnb or if you are a landlord and getting someone to manage it for you, having a written Airbnb property management contract is always a good idea. For friends, it’s not always necessary if they are looking after it temporarily for you but if needed, don’t hesitate to get this rolled out and agreed to protect both you and the other person in case of a problem. Here is the sample Airbnb property management contract I use for taking on a property to manage, if you intend to use this template, please alter it as per your individual needs and local legislation.
