3. Host Obligations
The Host confirms that the Property may lawfully be used for short-term letting and agrees to comply with the obligations set out in this section.
3.1 Legal & Regulatory Compliance
Permissions to let
The Host is solely responsible for ensuring that all permissions, consents, approvals, and internal agreements required for hosting have been obtained before the Hosting Period begins.
This includes, where applicable:
- permission from the landlord, lender, council, or management team
- compliance with any lease, tenancy agreement, mortgage conditions, title restrictions, building rules, or local authority requirements
- where the Host is hosting only a room or sharing occupation of the Property, clear agreement and consent from all relevant flatmates, co-tenants, housemates, or other occupiers who may be affected by the hosting arrangement
If the Property is occupied on a shared basis, the Host confirms that all relevant occupiers have been informed of, and have agreed to, the hosting arrangement before any listing goes live or any booking is accepted.
The Host shall be fully responsible for any dispute, complaint, claim, removal of access, cancellation, loss, penalty, or enforcement action arising from failure to obtain any required permission, consent, or occupier agreement.
Safety regulatory requirements
The Host also confirms that the Property complies with all applicable legal and safety requirements in England & Wales, including where required:
- valid Gas Safety certification
- EPC
- EICR
- smoke alarms
- carbon monoxide detectors
- any other applicable safety or compliance obligations
The Host must maintain adequate buildings, contents, landlord, or other appropriate insurance for the Property.
3.2 Keys & Access
The Host must provide Travacant with at least 2 full working sets of keys for the Property before hosting begins, unless otherwise agreed by Travacant in writing.
These keys must provide all necessary access for operation of the booking, including building entry, communal access where relevant, and access to all areas intended for Guest use.
If the Host fails to provide the required keys or lawful access, Travacant may delay, suspend, decline, or terminate hosting services, and the Host shall remain responsible for any resulting losses, cancellations, guest claims, or operational costs.
3.3 Removal of Valuables and Personal Risk Items
Before the Hosting Period begins, the Host must remove from the Property, or securely lock away in a fixed safe that is not accessible to Guests, any valuables, sensitive items, or high-risk personal belongings.
These include, without limitation:
- cash and coins
- jewellery, watches, and precious metals
- passports, identity documents, bank cards, cheque books, and financial documents
- laptops, tablets, cameras, hard drives, memory cards, and other portable electronics not intended for Guest use
- designer clothing, handbags, shoes, and accessories
- luxury goods, collectibles, antiques, artwork, and sentimental items
- confidential paperwork, business records, and personal data
- keys, spare keys, access fobs, vehicle documents, and any item giving access to other property or vehicles
For the avoidance of doubt, simply placing such items in drawers, wardrobes, cupboards, boxes, or unlocked luggage within the Property shall not be treated as secure storage.
The Host acknowledges that the safest course is to remove such items from the Property entirely for the duration of the Hosting Period. Where the Host chooses instead to keep any such items at the Property, they do so entirely at their own risk.
Travacant shall not be liable for any loss of, theft of, disappearance of, damage to, or unauthorised access to any such items left at the Property, whether or not they were documented, photographed, hidden, or stored in a locked room, cupboard, suitcase, or other area not intended for Guest use, unless such loss is directly caused by Travacant’s proven wilful misconduct.
3.4 Non-Interference
The Host shall not:
- enter the Property during an active Guest stay without authorisation
- interfere with an active booking
- remove or restrict access to the Property
- communicate directly with Guests unless authorised by Travacant
- take any action likely to negatively affect the listing, booking, or guest experience
Any breach may result in immediate suspension or termination of services.
3.5 Departure & Return Timing
The Host must vacate the Property:
- at least 5 hours before Guest check-in where off-site or secure storage mode applies; or
- at least 3 hours before Guest check-in where labelled storage mode applies
Late departure, early return, or any failure to provide timely access may result in blocked calendar dates, cancelled bookings, additional operational costs, or loss of payout, without compensation to the Host.
3.6 Property Condition
The Host warrants that the Property shall:
- be clean, safe, and habitable
- have functioning appliances and essential utilities, including electricity, water, and heating
- materially match the information and condition represented during onboarding
The Host is responsible for remedying any defects or issues that may affect a booking, guest stay, or legal compliance.
3.7 Indemnity
The Host agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Travacant against all claims, penalties, platform sanctions, guest claims, relocation costs, refunds, fines, losses, and expenses arising from:
- regulatory non-compliance
- breach of lease, mortgage, title, or occupancy rules
- Host-initiated cancellation
- misrepresentation of the Property
- safety failures
- failure to provide lawful or timely access
- failure to remove valuables or restricted personal items
4. Fees & Payment

Booking revenue is received via the Platform under Travacant’s master account.
Host payout is calculated as:

Travacant may deduct from current or future payouts:

In urgent situations, the Host must immediately contact Travacant via the designated emergency WhatsApp number in addition to submitting written notice.
A cancellation is not effective unless and until it is confirmed in writing by Travacant.
5.1.2 Valid Grounds for Cancellation
An Host cancellation will only be considered penalty-free where the Host provides satisfactory evidence that hosting is materially prevented by circumstances beyond the Host’s reasonable control, including for example:
- major structural damage
- emergency repairs rendering the Property unsafe
- serious medical emergency directly affecting the Host
Travacant reserves sole discretion to determine whether sufficient evidence has been provided.
The following do not normally constitute valid grounds:
- lease restrictions discovered late

- lack of permits
- pricing concerns
- change of plans
- inconvenience

- Platform cancellation penalties
- guest refunds or compensation
- alternative accommodation or relocation costs
- loss of expected management or setup fees
- administrative and operational costs already incurred
- any platform sanctions or listing restrictions caused by the cancellation

- additional penalties and recovery costs may apply
5.1.5 Deduction & Recovery Rights
Travacant reserves the right to:
- deduct cancellation-related losses from current or future payouts

- suspend or terminate the Host’s account pending settlement
Any outstanding balance shall be payable within 7 days of invoice.
5.1.6 Cancellations Before Any Confirmed Reservations
Where no reservation has yet been accepted:
- if setup services have already been completed, the relevant setup fees remain payable
- if no services have been performed, cancellation may be accepted without further charge
5.2 Guest Cancellations
5.2.1 Platform-Controlled Policy
All guest reservations are made through third-party booking platforms, including but not limited to Airbnb.
Guest cancellation terms, refund eligibility, and compensation are governed by the applicable Platform policies in force at the time of booking. Travacant does not control or override Platform-level refund decisions.
5.2.2 Guest Cancellation Before Check-In
Where a guest cancels before check-in:
- the reservation dates may be reopened for rebooking
- any payout received from the Platform will be handled under this Agreement
- Travacant is entitled to recover any setup, cleaning, storage, logistics, or administrative costs already incurred
- if no payout is issued by the Platform, no payout shall be due to the Host
5.2.3 Guest Cancellation Within a Restricted Refund Window
If a guest cancels within a non-refundable or partial-refund window defined by the Platform, the Host shall receive any payout actually released by the Platform, less:
- agreed service fees
- any setup, storage, cleaning, logistics, or administrative costs already incurred
If the cancelled dates are rebooked, payout will be recalculated based on the replacement booking.
5.2.4 Guest Cancellation During Stay
If a guest shortens or cancels a stay after check-in:
- refund eligibility is determined by the Platform
- Travacant remains entitled to management fees for services already delivered
- setup and storage fees remain payable where applicable
- Host payout shall reflect the actual payout received from the Platform, less agreed fees and deductions
5.2.5 Platform-Initiated Guest Refunds
Where a Platform issues a guest refund due to:
- major disruptive events
- listing misdescription
- safety or habitability concerns
- policy violations
the Host shall remain responsible where the issue arose from:
- inaccurate property information
- failure to provide safe or lawful access
- failure to maintain required property standards
- breach of hosting requirements
Travacant reserves the right to recover resulting losses from the Host where the refund results from Host fault.
5.2.6 Rebooking of Cancelled Dates
Where cancelled dates are successfully rebooked:
- payout calculations shall be based on the actual revenue received from the replacement booking
- service fees apply to the final booking value
Travacant does not guarantee rebooking.
5.2.7 No Service = No Service Fee
If a guest cancels before any operational work has commenced and no setup, storage, or preparation has occurred, no service fee shall apply.
If operational preparation has already begun, the corresponding fees remain payable.

Travacant shall not be liable for any failure or delay caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including:
- government restrictions
- travel bans
- Platform suspension
- utility outages
- natural disasters
- severe weather
- public emergencies
5.4 Termination
Either party may terminate this Agreement by written notice.
Termination does not affect:

- regulatory or legal risk arises
- the Host breaches this Agreement
- payment default occurs
- access cannot be lawfully or reliably provided
6. Damage, Missing Items & Platform Protection
Guest damage claims will be pursued through the applicable Platform protection programme, including Airbnb AirCover where applicable. Recovery is not guaranteed.
Travacant does not assume liability for guest-caused damage unless directly caused by Travacant’s proven negligence.
Normal wear and tear is not considered damage.
Travacant shall not be liable for any item that was not documented, photographed, or recorded at the time of setup preparation.
For the avoidance of doubt, Travacant shall have no responsibility for cash, jewellery, watches, precious metals, identity documents, bank cards, confidential paperwork, portable electronics, designer goods, collectibles, artwork, sentimental belongings, or any other item of unusual, personal, or high value left at the Property during the Hosting Period.
Hosts are strongly advised to remove such items entirely from the Property wherever possible. If any such item remains in the Property, whether in open view, hidden, or locked away, it remains solely at the Host’s risk.
7. Limitation of Liability
Nothing in this Agreement limits or excludes liability for:
- death or personal injury caused by negligence
- fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation
- any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded
