The Rental Arbitrage Lease Addendum has become increasingly important with the growth of short-term rental platforms like Airbnb and VRBO. This document is essential when a tenant wishes to legally operate a short-term rental business in a property they don't own. It provides necessary protections for both landlord and tenant, ensuring clear understanding of permissions, responsibilities, and compliance requirements under U.S. law. The addendum typically includes specific provisions for insurance, guest management, revenue arrangements, and regulatory compliance.
