You don't sign a traditional lease. When you book with Anthony Thomas Stays, you agree to our Guest Agreement, along with our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
The Guest Agreement is a legally binding contract that governs your stay and covers the same ground a traditional rental contract would: dates, payment terms, house rules, and your rights and responsibilities as a guest. We don't issue a separate lease document.

Need documentation for your stay?

We can provide a booking confirmation letter on request. It confirms your booking dates, the property address, and your booking details.

To request one, email support@anthonythomasstays.com with your booking reference and let us know what the letter is for — that way we can make sure it includes what you need.

Please note: the letter can only list the name on the booking as the guest. We can't add names of additional occupants or third parties.

What we can't provide

A standalone lease or tenancy agreement
Utility bills in your name or other proof-of-residence documents
Letters of recommendation, guarantor letters, or any document certifying your creditworthiness.
If you're unsure whether a booking confirmation letter will satisfy a specific requirement, reach out before you book and we'll tell you what we can and can't document.

You can view your full payment schedule directly from your booking.

- Log in to your Anthony Thomas Stays account and go to Your Bookings
- Find the booking you want to check
- Select View payment schedule on that booking

A window opens showing each rent payment for your stay, including the due date and amount (with monthly fees included), followed by your booking total.

How billing works
Rent is due every 30 days. Your first payment is charged at booking, and each following payment falls on the same cycle for the length of your stay. The payment schedule breaks this out payment by payment, so you can see exactly what's due and when.

If you'd rather not pay in installments, you can choose pay in full while booking, on the page right after you review your schedule. This charges the total amount for the whole stay up front instead of every 30 days.

If something doesn't look right, or you don't see the option, contact support@anthonythomasstays.com and we'll walk through it with you.

Discounts and Promos
Our rates are subject to change based on seasonality, demand and availability. Generally, the longer you initially book with us or the longer your extend your stay, the greater the potential for discounts. We offer competitive rates that reflect the duration of your stay.

From there, you will find your current booking details and have the option to "Extend Stay".

If there isn't a reservation booked after your current one ends, you will be able to select a new check-out date as long as we are given 24 hours notice.

This helps mitigate the risk of not being able to extend your stay if the unit becomes unavailable and book by someone else.
