Seasonal lease contracts signed during online check-in
Do you run a property and need proper seasonal lease agreements without giving up digital check-in? HazCheckin fills the contract with the guest's details, gets it signed in the same check-in flow and hands you a PDF with the ID copy attached, ready for the deposit filing.
At a glance
- When it applies
- Long stays, for instance over 10 nights in the Valencian Community

- Deposit
- Filed with the regional body together with the contract and the ID copy
- Traveler report
- Optional: exempt these stays from SES.HOSPEDAJES
How it works
The contract lives inside the online check-in you already use. Neither you nor the guest does anything outside HazCheckin.
- 1
Write your template
Draft the contract in a visual editor with headings, clauses and bold text. Insert the self-filling details with one click: guest name, ID, dates, nights, reference or your landlord details.
- 2
Assign it to your property
Pick the template per property and set from how many nights it applies. Shorter stays keep the usual tourist check-in.
- 3
The guest checks in
They scan their ID, review their details and read the contract in a comfortable full-screen reader, with a PDF draft available before accepting.
- 4
Accept and sign
They tick the acceptance and sign on screen. We freeze the exact text they signed with its fingerprint, date, IP and device as evidence.
- 5
Get the full PDF
From the booking detail you download the contract with both signatures on every page, the evidence and both sides of the guest's ID as an annex.
- 6
The guest gets their copy
From their check-in link they can download their signed copy at any time, without the ID annex.
Everything included
Built for property managers and hosts with long stays who need a valid contract and a tidy file for the deposit.
Self-filling details
Guest, ID, dates, nights, reference, property and landlord, inserted as tags in the text.
Your landlord signature
Draw it once and it is stamped on every contract with your billing name and tax ID.
ID copy attached
Both sides of the ID or passport captured at check-in, watermarked with their purpose, in the same PDF.
Signatures on every page
Both signatures and the page number at the foot of every sheet, like a paper contract.
A copy for the guest
Downloadable from their check-in link at any time, without the ID copy.
Traveler report exemption
Mark these stays as leases rather than lodging and nothing is sent to SES.HOSPEDAJES or the Mossos.

What is a seasonal lease and how is it different from a tourist rental?
It is a housing lease for a temporary use other than the tenant's main residence, governed by article 3.2 of the Spanish Urban Leases Act. Unlike tourist rentals, regulated by regional tourism law, it requires a written contract and, in most regions, a deposit filed with the regional body.
Why does it matter in the Valencian Community?
Since Decree-Law 9/2024, only stays of ten days or fewer for the same tenant count as tourist housing. A longer stay becomes a seasonal lease: it needs a contract and a filed deposit, and the filing identifies the tenant with their ID.
Is the guest's electronic signature valid?
The contract is signed with a simple electronic signature: a handwritten signature on screen plus acceptance evidence (date, time, IP, device and SHA-256 fingerprint of the text), in line with the eIDAS Regulation and Spanish Law 6/2020. The PDF carries that evidence so you can prove it.
Can I use my own contract?
Yes. You write your text in the visual editor and add the variables you need. Every edit creates a new version, and every signed contract keeps the exact version the guest accepted.
What about the traveler report for these stays?
Your call. By default it is filed like any other booking. If you consider these stays leases rather than lodging, you can mark it on the property and nothing is sent to SES.HOSPEDAJES or the Mossos for them. That is your legal decision; check it with your advisor.
Where is the guest's ID copy stored?
On the same encrypted infrastructure as the rest of the check-in, watermarked with its purpose. It only appears in the PDF the host downloads; the guest's copy leaves it out. It is kept for the legal period and then deleted.
Does it work with Airbnb, Booking or my PMS bookings?
Yes. The rule applies to every booking of the property, whatever its source. The stay only needs to reach the minimum nights you configured.
