Create a rental agreement online with Houfy

To create a rental agreement for your listing on Houfy you can easily follow the steps below.

Last updated August 24, 2026

  1. Click the plus in the top bar to open the Create menu, scroll to the bottom and select Rental agreement - or go straight to houfy.com/new/agreement.

  2. Choose the listing this agreement is for. Every new agreement starts from the Houfy default template, which fills in predefined sections you can then edit - there is no other template to pick.

  3. Click Create a rental agreement.

If the listing you choose already has a rental agreement, creating a new one REPLACES it - all of its sections are deleted and rebuilt from the default template, and this cannot be undone. There is no way to copy an agreement between listings; see Copy rental agreement from one listing to another for what to do instead.
