Your contract is a service agreement: we perform specific tasks for you; we do not manage your property, and we do not rent out any property on your behalf.
Before entrusting a furnished vacation rental to a short-term rental management company in Toulon, you need to understand exactly what the document you’re signing entails. This isn’t just a legal technicality—it determines everything else, from the flow of funds to the allocation of responsibilities.
The concept is simple. Loca'Zen provides specific services on your behalf: creating the listing, welcoming guests, cleaning, and coordinating guest rotations. However, we do not represent you, we do not sign anything on your behalf, and the rental agreement for each stay is entered into directly between you and the guest, including on Airbnb or Booking.
This contract is not subject to the Act of January 2, 1970, on real estate professions. We do not collect or hold any funds on your behalf: rent is paid directly to you or deposited by the platform into an account opened in your name.
Three legal classifications are expressly excluded, and each has a direct consequence for you:
This boundary protects both parties. Real estate management is a regulated profession that requires a professional license, a financial guarantee, and a mandate registered with the appropriate authority. Our business is different: we provide tangible, measurable, and verifiable services, without ever coming between you and your rental income.
Your contractual relationship is based on a set of documents. In the event of a conflict among them, the following order of priority applies, from strongest to weakest:
The attachments to the contract are the lessor’s sworn statement, the cancellation form, the request for early performance, and the order form for optional services. Templates for each of these are available on the downloadable documents page.
You can have a lawyer review the contract before signing it, and this is even recommended. You also have a fourteen-day cooling-off period after signing, as detailed on page 1.10.
Believing that an email exchange or a voicemail message modifies the contract. Changes to rates and scope of service must be made exclusively through a written amendment signed by both parties. Until the amendment is signed, the current terms and conditions remain in effect.
Serving as the property manager has a practical implication: your non-occupant homeowner’s insurance remains essential, even if you use a property management service. Page 2.6 details the coverage options that are useful for short-term rentals.
Why place so much emphasis on the fact that this isn't a mandate?
Because the distinction between service provision and property management shapes the entire relationship. It ensures that your rent never passes through a third party, that you retain control over every decision, and that our compensation is based on the tasks we perform, not on a power of representation.
If you don't represent me, who rents to the traveler?
You. The lease agreement is between you and the guest, even when the reservation is made through a platform like Airbnb or Booking. That’s also why the income from your furnished vacation rental remains rental income that belongs to you.
Can I have someone review the contract before I sign it?
Yes, and it's recommended. Take the time to read it, ask questions, and consult your advisor if you wish. The 14-day cooling-off period also gives you some leeway after you sign.
What happens if two documents contradict each other?
The order of precedence is clear: the most recent amendment takes precedence over the contract, which takes precedence over the appendices. This is a standard mechanism that prevents any ambiguity as the relationship evolves over time.
