Church hall rental software: what to look for
Renting your hall to weddings, classes and community groups brings in income. These are the things a rental tool should handle, and how Muin Space Rentals handles each one.
A checklist for hall rentals
| What you need | How Space Rentals does it |
|---|---|
| Renters can see when the hall is free | A request form for your website that offers only times that are actually free. |
| Member and public rates | Separate member and public rates by the hour, half day, day or flat fee, with optional cleaning, kitchen and A/V fees. |
| You approve every booking | Every request lands in one list with the renter, the space, the date and the price worked out. You approve it. |
| Deposits collected up front | When you approve, the renter gets a link to pay the deposit by card through your own Stripe account. |
| A signed rental agreement | Your rules and terms become the agreement, signed online before the booking is confirmed. |
| Proof of insurance for outside groups | Require a certificate of insurance on the spaces that need one, with the minimum cover you set. |
| Holidays and your own events kept clear | Blackout dates block holidays, maintenance and any date you keep for your own use. |
| Fewer "where is my booking" emails | Each renter gets a private link showing the booking status and what they owe. |
