Facing Legal Trouble Over Rental Agreements: How Can I Protect Myself with a Solid Contract?

charmi90
I have a side business in real estate, providing paying guest accommodations for boys and girls, and also dealing with flats for rent. A few months ago, I rented out a flat to five girls without an agreement in place. Unfortunately, the girls vacated the flat before the agreed-upon notice period of one month. Although the owner provided them with a receipt, they filed a lawsuit against me and the owner in court. My main mistake was not formalizing the rental agreement. In court, they claimed that I charged them a brokerage fee, which was not the case. Now, I am facing a problem.

Request for a Legally Binding Agreement

My primary request is to have a legally binding agreement drafted that specifies the terms and conditions, ensuring that the broker is not held responsible once the paying guest or flat is provided. I am seeking a comprehensive agreement for paying guests or flats that clearly outlines the responsibilities of both the owner and the tenant.

Please prepare an agreement for me that includes all the necessary legal terms and conditions. I hope you can assist me promptly.

A few months ago, I rented out a flat to five girls without a formal agreement. Unfortunately, the girls vacated the flat before the 6-month mark without giving the required 1-month notice. Though the owner issued them a receipt, they filed a lawsuit against me and the property owner in court. My main mistake was not formalizing an agreement. During the court proceedings, they claimed that I took a brokerage fee from them.

My primary requirement is to have a legal agreement drafted, specifying that the broker bears no responsibility once the paying guest or flat has been provided. I am seeking a comprehensive legal agreement for paying guest accommodations or flats that absolves the broker from any disputes and ensures that all terms and conditions are agreed upon by the owner and the tenant.

Please draft an agreement for me with the necessary legal terms and conditions. I hope you can assist me promptly.
