In these Terms, the following definitions apply:
HomeBridge operates via a Commercial Master Lease Framework. Under this arrangement, the property owner (the “Landlord Partner”) enters into a binding Landlord Partnership Agreement with HomeBridge, whereby HomeBridge acts as the Master Tenant. Both parties explicitly acknowledge and agree that this is a business-to-business letting intended for commercial exploitation. The Property is leased to HomeBridge for the specific purpose of providing mid-term corporate serviced accommodation, a purpose which constitutes a commercial use of the premises and falls entirely outside the scope, regulations, and jurisdiction of the Residential Tenancies Act (RTA) 2004 (as amended) and the Residential Tenancies Board (RTB).
HomeBridge commits to paying the agreed monthly Rent on or before the due date specified in the individual Landlord Partnership Schedule, regardless of the occupancy status of the property by HomeBridge’s corporate sub-licensees. This payment represents a commercial lease fee paid by HomeBridge in its capacity as Master Tenant, in consideration for the right to operate and commercially sub-license the property. It is not a payment made in respect of HomeBridge’s own residential occupation or a personal tenancy.
4.1 The Landlord Partner warrants that the property is in good, lettable condition at the Commencement Date and suitable for use as corporate accommodation.
4.2 The Landlord Partner grants HomeBridge the absolute and irrevocable right to issue commercial Licenses to Occupy to third-party corporate entities and their personnel without requiring further individual consent.
4.3 HomeBridge commits to maintaining the interior of the property to a high standard throughout the term, including routine cleaning and minor interior repairs resulting from normal use. HomeBridge retains the right to furnish, stage, and occasionally redecorate the interior to meet corporate client standards.
4.4 The Landlord Partner acknowledges that HomeBridge is not responsible for structural/capital maintenance/repairs, major system failures (heating, plumbing, electrical), or the replacement of core appliances, which shall remain the sole financial and operational responsibility of the Landlord Partner.
4.5 HomeBridge retains an absolute right of access for inspections, maintenance, and asset audits at any time.
The Landlord Partner acknowledges that this arrangement is a commercial business letting for the purpose of providing serviced corporate accommodation. As this is a business-to-business arrangement, the parties agree that the property is not a “dwelling” within the meaning of the Residential Tenancies Act 2004. Consequently, the Landlord Partner acknowledges that this arrangement is not subject to the residential tenancy protections, security of tenure, or registration requirements afforded to residential tenants under Irish law.
The rental guarantees, maintenance, and corporate occupancy hazard absorptions outlined in this Document apply exclusively to property assets explicitly bound under a signed Commercial Master Lease Agreement. These rights, guarantees, and tenant liabilities do not under any circumstances extend to properties onboarded via the HomeBridge Verified Operator Network, which operates under a completely separate, non-tenancy channel.
7.1 Minimum Commitment Term: The Landlord Partner agrees to a minimum initial term of twenty-four (24) calendar months (“Minimum Term”), commencing on the Commencement Date. During the Minimum Term, the Landlord Partner shall not be entitled to terminate, withdraw from, or otherwise seek early exit from the landlord partnership arrangement, save only in the event of a material and unremedied breach by HomeBridge as provided in sub-clause 7.5 below. For the avoidance of doubt, the Minimum Term obligation is a commitment undertaken solely by the Landlord Partner and does not in any way restrict, fetter, or qualify HomeBridge’s separate right of termination as set out in sub-clause 7.3 of this clause.
7.2 Automatic Renewal: Unless either party serves written notice of non-renewal no later than sixty (60) days prior to the expiry of the Minimum Term, or any subsequent renewal term, the landlord partnership arrangement shall automatically renew for successive periods of twenty-four (24) months on the same terms and conditions.
7.3 HomeBridge’s Right of Termination: Notwithstanding any other provision of this clause, HomeBridge reserves the unconditional right to terminate the landlord partnership arrangement at any time — including during the Minimum Term applicable to the Landlord Partner — upon the service of not less than sixty (60) days’ written notice. This notice obligation applies exclusively to HomeBridge and shall not be construed as conferring any corresponding right of unilateral early termination upon the Landlord Partner.
7.4 Landlord Partner’s Right of Termination Post-Minimum Term: Upon the expiry of the Minimum Term and thereafter during any renewal period, the Landlord Partner shall be entitled to terminate by serving not less than sixty (60) days’ written notice on HomeBridge. Such notice shall not take effect prior to the end of the current contractual term. During any notice period, HomeBridge’s obligations as Master Tenant shall continue in full.
7.5 Termination for Cause: Either party may terminate upon written notice if: (i) the other party commits a material breach and fails to remedy such breach within thirty (30) days of receiving written notice; (ii) the other party enters into insolvency, liquidation, or receivership; or (iii) continued performance becomes unlawful under Irish law.
7.6 Consequences of Termination: Upon termination, HomeBridge shall return vacant possession of the property to the Landlord Partner in a condition consistent with the property inventory schedule agreed at the Commencement Date, subject to fair wear and tear. All rent and other sums due up to the effective date of termination remain enforceable.
The Landlord Partner acknowledges that HomeBridge’s business model relies on the cultivation of proprietary relationships with corporate clients and demand aggregators (the “Corporate Partners”). To protect the integrity of these commercial relationships, the Landlord Partner covenants and agrees that, during the term of this Agreement and for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the termination of this Agreement for any reason, the Landlord Partner shall not, directly or indirectly:
8.1 Solicit, induce, or attempt to persuade any Corporate Partner to terminate their relationship with HomeBridge or to bypass HomeBridge by entering into any direct arrangement for the provision of accommodation at the Property;
8.2 Enter into any contract, agreement, or commercial arrangement for the provision of housing or accommodation services with any person or entity known to the Landlord Partner to be a Corporate Partner of HomeBridge, provided that such Corporate Partner was introduced to or utilised the Property during the term of this Agreement; or
8.3 Otherwise interfere with the business relationship between HomeBridge and its Corporate Partners.
The Landlord Partner acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this clause are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of HomeBridge and that any breach of this clause would cause irreparable harm to HomeBridge, for which monetary damages alone may be an inadequate remedy.
9.1 Data Processing: In the course of our partnership, HomeBridge and the Landlord Partner may exchange limited personal data necessary for the execution of the lease, and financial disbursement.
9.2 Compliance: Each party shall independently comply with its obligations under the GDPR and applicable Irish data protection laws in relation to any personal data processed under this framework.
9.3 Purpose Limitation: HomeBridge shall use any personal data received from the Landlord Partner exclusively for the purpose of managing the property, maintaining the asset, and fulfilling its commercial obligations as Master Tenant.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless HomeBridge Residential Services Limited and its directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: (i) your breach of these Terms; or (ii) any fraudulent, misleading, or harmful conduct on your part in connection with your interactions with HomeBridge.
If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severed from the remainder of these Terms, which shall remain in full force and effect. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be replaced with a valid provision that most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of the original provision.
HomeBridge reserves the right to amend these Terms at any time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. We recommend that you review these Terms periodically. Material changes affecting existing contractual arrangements will be communicated directly to the affected parties.
These Terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them (including non-contractual disputes), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Ireland. Any such dispute shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Ireland, without prejudice to your statutory rights as a consumer under EU law (where applicable).
In the event of any dispute arising from these Terms or from any business relationship with HomeBridge, the parties agree to first attempt to resolve the matter through good-faith direct negotiation. If the dispute cannot be resolved within 30 days of written notice of the dispute, either party may refer the matter to mediation before a mutually agreed mediator, in accordance with the Mediation Act 2017 (Ireland). Where mediation fails or is not appropriate, the dispute shall be referred to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Irish courts as set out in Clause 13 above.
This clause does not affect any statutory dispute resolution rights you may have as a consumer or business under Irish or EU law.
