Airbnb house rules template, free and printable.
Short answer. Good house rules are short and checkable: times, numbers and what to do, not “be respectful”. Answer the questions below, then print the page for the house and paste the same text into your listing so guests agree to it before they book.

Putting the rules in your Airbnb listing
- Pets, events, smoking and vaping, quiet hours, check-in and checkout times and the most overnight guests are standard settings. Set them there, then add the rest as additional rules, each marked “During the stay” or “Before checkout”.
- HOA or city rules and contracts do not belong in additional rules: Airbnb has separate places for local rules and, in limited cases, contracts.
- A change applies only to reservations made after it. Guests who already booked keep the rules they agreed to.
- A no-pets rule never applies to service animals, and they cannot be charged a pet or cleaning fee. In California and New York the same protection covers emotional support animals in homes.
- Keep checkout tasks to a few small ones. A long list reads like unpaid cleaning.
