Airbnb & Short-Term Rental House Rules Template | Editable Word Document (Kenya-Compliant)

Whether you're hosting your first Airbnb or managing a whole portfolio of short-term rentals, unclear house rules are one of the #1 reasons hosts lose money — to property damage, noisy parties, unauthorized guests, and disputes they can't back up with anything in writing.

This is a done-for-you, 7-page House Rules & Guest Guidebook, written by a practising advocate and Airbnb consultant, covering everything a serious host needs — so you're not left improvising when something goes wrong.

What's Inside:

✅ 16 comprehensive sections covering check-in/out, occupancy limits, noise & quiet hours, parties & events, smoking policy, pets, security & safety, parking, utilities & amenities, housekeeping, damage & security deposit terms, visitor policy, liability protection, and legal compliance

✅ A professional cover page with a property-details snapshot (address, host contact, Wi-Fi, check-in times)

✅ A guest acknowledgement & signature page — so guests confirm in writing that they've read and agreed to your rules

✅ Clean, branded formatting (navy & gold) that looks like it came from a professional hospitality company

✅ 100% editable in Microsoft Word — just fill in your property name, rates, fees, and contact details
