When you create a rental agreement using Houfy’s rental agreement creator, the default setting is "mandatory". This means guests must fill out and sign the rental agreement before they can inquire or proceed with a booking request and payment. This ensures clarity and agreement on terms upfront, protecting both hosts and guests.
However, you have the flexibility to adjust this setting to make the agreement optional if preferred. Here’s how to manage the visibility and requirement settings for your rental agreement on Houfy:
Steps to Adjust Rental Agreement Settings
- Log in to your Houfy account.
- Click the + icon on the top navigation bar.
- Select Rental Agreement Creator from the menu.
- Choose the specific rental agreement you want to modify and click Edit.
- Scroll to the Settings section, then locate Additional Settings.
- Find the option labeled Require rental agreement at the time of inquiry or booking request.
- Toggle the setting to either Mandatory (guests must sign before inquiring or booking) or Optional (guests can view but aren’t required to sign upfront).
- Save your changes.
By default, the mandatory setting ensures guests see and agree to your terms early in the process, streamlining communication. Switching to optional allows guests to inquire or book without signing immediately, which may suit more flexible rental scenarios.
