Important:
We’re making an important update to improve your guest management process. Starting February 28th, the Check-in Form and Rental Agreement features will be phased out. To ensure uninterrupted service and access to these features, please transition to the Guest App—your new, all-in-one solution for guest data collection.
Create a rental agreement template that guests can fill out and sign electronically before their arrival. Once created, you can edit or delete the template if needed. Follow the instructions below or watch our video.
Once created, you can send your rental agreement to guests automatically or manually.
