When to use:
If you have a furnished holiday house or flat, you will need an agreement like this purely to protect your interest. Here is a similar version specially for a caravan.
Note: we offer two versions of this agreement:
NZ-PR521 is an agreement to be signed and returned to the property owner;
NZ-PR522 is a "terms and conditions" document providing broadly the same provisions. It is less negotiable.
This document comes with an example letter confirming holiday booking and incorporating these terms.
It is in plain English not legalese. It is very comprehensive. Like all leases, this document has been designed primarily to protect the interest of the landlord.
These leases are suitable for:
- terms of letting of a furnished house, flat or caravan to a group of people for a holiday;
- a period of up to three months, but more usually a couple of weeks.
It is not suitable for:
- a business letting;
- a lease for more than three months;
- a residential letting.
This document includes provision for:
- all usual basic provisions;
- rent: paid monthly in advance, but can be changed to suit you;
- deposit by tenant;
- landlord's access: if needed;
- landlord's choice of letting conditions, setting out what tenant can and cannot do;
- inventory (with explanatory notes on how to use).
