WORKSHOP
The Legal Playbook for STR Hosts: Contracts, Liability, and Protecting Your Assets
From LLCs to local laws, this attorney-led session gives short term rental hosts a practical legal playbook for running a protected, compliant business. Designed for beginner and intermediate hosts ready to level up their operations and navigate advertising, compliance, and operational risks in changing legal environments.
SUMMARY
You’ve invested real money and real time into your short term rental business. But are you legally set up to protect it and avoid legal drama? In this session, attorney Brittany Ratelle of Ratelle Law will cover the legal foundations that separate hobbyists from serious operators: entity formation and asset protection, insurance gaps most hosts don’t know they have, rental agreements that actually hold up, handling guest incidents and disputes, and staying current with permitting, tax, platform, and regulatory requirements. Whether you own one cabin or ten condos, you’ll leave with a clear, actionable plan to reduce your legal risk and run your rental business with confidence.
