Loft house rules template

Lofts are usually open spaces in converted industrial buildings: high ceilings, hard floors, big windows and few interior doors. Sound bounces, light pours in early, and the building may have a freight elevator or an unusual way in.

This template covers the standard Airbnb rules plus loft requests with short reasons. Fill in how your building's doors and elevator work, as that is where loft guests get stuck.

The template

Replace anything in [brackets] with your own details.

Check-in and checkout

  • Check-in is from [Check-in time]. Checkout is by [Checkout time].
  • The building entrance is [Entrance description]. Your loft is on floor [Floor number].
  • Elevator: [Elevator instructions, e.g. pull the gate fully closed before pressing the button].

Guests and noise

  • The loft sleeps [Max guests] guests. It's one open space, so [Sleeping layout].
  • Hard floors and high ceilings carry sound to the neighbours below. Please keep quiet hours from [Quiet hours start] to [Quiet hours end].
  • No parties or events, please. The open layout makes them tempting, but the building doesn't allow them.

Pets, smoking and photos

  • Pets: [Pet rule].
  • No smoking or vaping inside, on the roof or in the stairwells.
  • Lofts get a lot of photo shoot requests. No commercial photography or filming without our written OK.

Loft requests

  • Please wear soft shoes or socks indoors, and lift rather than drag the chairs.
  • The big windows face east, so the blackout blinds are [Blind controls].
  • Please don't open the large windows more than [Window limit]. There's no screen, and it's a long way down.
  • Building doors: please make sure the street door closes behind you and never prop it open.
  • Rooftop: [Rooftop rule, e.g. open to guests until 10 pm, no glass].

Locking up

  • Please lock the loft door every time you go out.

When you leave

  • Put used dishes in the sink.
  • Gather used towels in [Towel spot].
  • Sort trash and recycling into the bins under the counter.
  • Turn off lights and the heat or AC, and close the windows.
  • Lock the door and leave the keys [Key return spot].

Thanks, and enjoy the city!

Questions

How do I stop photo shoots at my loft?

Commercial photography and filming is one of the standard rules you can set. Say plainly that it needs your written permission first.

What should loft rules say about windows?

If big windows open wide without screens or guards, ask guests to open them only partway and keep children away. Give the reason, the drop.

Why do loft guests get noise complaints?

Hard floors and open space carry footsteps and voices to the unit below. Rugs, felt pads and a request for soft shoes help.
