Short-term studio rental agreements made simple
Findr is a UK venue-booking app that handles the rental agreement process for you. When you book a studio or creative space through Findr, the host's listing terms and your booking request create a binding agreement without paperwork.
How rental agreements work on Findr
Unlike traditional studio rental agreements that require signed contracts, Findr simplifies the process. Each host publishes their space with their own terms: hourly rate, cancellation policy, house rules, and what's included. When you send a booking request (or use Instant Book on supported venues), you're agreeing to those published terms. The host accepts, and the agreement is live. In-app messaging lets you clarify anything before your session starts. As of June 2026, this removes the need for separate legal documents for short-term creative bookings.
What's covered in your booking
Each Findr listing shows exactly what the host offers. Studios typically include access hours, equipment availability (if any), parking or entry details, and guest policies. Cancellation terms are set by the host and displayed before you book. Payment happens through Findr via Stripe, so both you and the host have a transaction record. If a dispute arises, Findr's in-app messaging provides a clear audit trail of what was agreed.
Types of spaces with clear rental terms
Findr hosts list photography studios, rehearsal halls, meeting rooms, event spaces, and creative studios across the UK. Each space has its own rental framework. A photographer's studio might offer hourly bookings with lighting included; a meeting room might have a 4-hour minimum. Hosts set these boundaries to protect their space and set expectations. You see all terms before committing, so there are no surprises on arrival day.
Your booking protection
When you book through Findr, you get transparency and a record. Every booking includes the agreed rate, dates, house rules, and the host's contact details. If you need to cancel, the host's policy is clear from the listing. If there's a problem during your session, you can message the host directly through the app, and Findr has a log of the conversation. This framework replaces the friction of formal contracts for most short-term creative bookings.
For hosts: setting your rental terms
If you own a studio or space, Findr lets you set your own rental agreement framework. You define your hourly or daily rate, minimum booking length, cancellation deadline, house rules, and what guests can bring or do. After Stripe KYC verification and MRVL approval, your listing goes live. Findr handles the booking flow and payment split; you decide the terms. Free hosts get one active listing; Host Pro supports up to ten.
Find your studio and book with clear terms in one tap.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a signed contract to rent a studio through Findr?
No. Your booking request (or Instant Book acceptance) and the host's published terms form the agreement. Everything is documented in the app, so you have a clear record without paperwork.
What happens if the host cancels my booking?
Each listing shows the host's cancellation policy. If they cancel, Findr will support you in requesting a refund or alternative date. The in-app messaging gives you a record of what was agreed.
Can I negotiate terms before booking?
Yes. You can message the host before sending a booking request to ask about special rates, longer sessions, or custom requirements. Hosts can accept your request and discuss adjustments in-app.
Is my payment protected?
Payments go through Stripe, so you have a secure transaction record. Your payment is held until the host confirms your booking, giving both parties protection.
What if there's a dispute about terms?
Findr's in-app messaging creates a conversation record between you and the host. If you need help resolving a disagreement, Findr can review the agreed terms and your messages.
As a host, how do I set my rental agreement terms?
When you create your listing, you set your rate, booking minimums, cancellation deadline, house rules, and what's included. These become your default rental framework for all guests.
