Holiday Let Management Agreement (Owner and Agent)

About this document

What it’s for

Many owners use an agency to market and manage their holiday let. The agreement decides who is responsible for safety compliance, how money is held and paid, what commission is charged and how the owner can leave. It is a key document for both owners and agents – and agencies are increasingly expected to protect client money.

When to use it

  • For agencies: as your standard owner agreement
  • For owners: as a checklist when reviewing an agency’s terms
  • When changing from one agency to another

  • Schedule 3 – Compliance responsibilities

How to complete it

  • Choose full management or bookings-only services in Schedule 1
  • Fill in the commission and fees in Schedule 2
  • Agree the compliance responsibilities table carefully

Key points to check

  • The owner usually remains legally responsible for fire and gas safety even if the agent arranges checks – make the split clear
  • Check how guest money is protected if the agent becomes insolvent
