Information

House Cleaning Services Agreement

A House Cleaning Services Agreement is an agreement between a contractor and a home owner where the contractor agrees to provide cleaning services to a home owner. This type of service agreement is helpful because it provides the terms and conditions of the arrangement. Is the agreement for a fixed term or ongoing? How much will the contractor get paid? How will the arrangement end? What will the contractor be responsible for? When will the cleaning take place? These are all questions that will be answered in the agreement. In addition, the agreement will reaffirm that an employer/employee relationship is not created.

The following House Cleaning Services Agreement can be used for a one-time project or for on-going services.

You might want to google "legal agreements" or Independent Contractor agreements. This is an indvidual, not an agency, right?

Yes, I actually did google and this is what I came up with. I had to modify a little bit.
The legal services you are asking for are beyond the scope of an internet forum. You should seek the advice of a local attorney...
