We have a hot tub and I would LOVE to see anyone’s hot tub agreements and signage around hot tub. Looking for the proper terminology for the rental agreement and creative ways to have Hot tub rules hung.

We do not have a signed agreement or waiver for hot tubs. We have a 1 page “Rules” in welcome book/prestay guide that clearly states Owner is not liable and Same is posted on the hot tub. In 8 years and over 50 properties with hot tubs - never an issue.

​@lindsey 

Here’s our verbiage from our rental agreement referencing Hot Tubs & the picture/link of the sign we bought. 

E. Hot Tub/Pool Care. No dyes, bubbles, oils, soaps, or other substances may be used in the hot tub/pool. Hot tub must be covered when not in use. Misuse may result in cleaning, drain/refill, or service charges.

Authorization. To the maximum extent permitted by law and platform rules, GUEST authorizes MANAGER to charge the payment method on file (or request payment through the booking platform) for: (i) additional fees due under this Agreement (including unauthorized occupant charges, late checkout fees, excessive cleaning, or hot tub misuse), (ii) damages beyond normal wear and tear, and (iii) costs incurred due to breaches of this Agreement.

12. Use at Own Risk

GUEST acknowledges that certain amenities and features may involve risks, including but not limited to hot tubs, pools, fire pits, bunk beds, bicycles, and kayaks (if provided). Use of any such amenity is at the user’s own risk. GUEST assumes all risks associated with use and agrees that MANAGER and OWNER are held harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Thanks! We just had kids drop bath bombs in ours during a stay, took 2 days to get it back to working; thankfully it happened to land a day where we DIDN’T have the same day turnover.

​@lindsey yikes! Not that people read signs often, but perhaps this & the verbiage can help mitigate issues in the future! Glad you were able to get yours back in order.
