Article 55Terms and Conditions of the Private Lodging Intermediary Services

第五十五条(住宅宿泊仲介業約款)

A private lodging intermediary must establish the terms and conditions of the private lodging intermediary services with regard to the contract concerning the private lodging intermediary services (referred to as a "private lodging intermediary contract" in Article 57, item (i) and Article 59, paragraph (1)) that it concludes with a lodger, and must notify the Commissioner of the Tourism Agency of them before their implementation. The same applies when the intermediary seeks to change them.

住宅宿泊仲介業者は、宿泊者と締結する住宅宿泊仲介業務に関する契約(第五十七条第一号及び第五十九条第一項において「住宅宿泊仲介契約」という。)に関し、住宅宿泊仲介業約款を定め、その実施前に、観光庁長官に届け出なければならない。これを変更しようとするときも、同様とする。

If the Commissioner of the Tourism Agency finds that the terms and conditions of the private lodging intermediary services referred to in the preceding paragraph fall under any of the following items, it may order the private lodging intermediary to change the terms and conditions, setting a reasonable time limit:

観光庁長官は、前項の住宅宿泊仲介業約款が次の各号のいずれかに該当すると認めるときは、当該住宅宿泊仲介業者に対し、相当の期限を定めて、その住宅宿泊仲介業約款を変更すべきことを命ずることができる。

if there is a risk of harming the legitimate interests of the lodgers; or

宿泊者の正当な利益を害するおそれがあるものであるとき。

if the terms and conditions do not clearly specify particulars concerning the receipt and refunding of fees for the private lodging intermediary services and money for other transactions with the lodgers, and particulars concerning the responsibilities of the private lodging intermediary.

住宅宿泊仲介業務に関する料金その他の宿泊者との取引に係る金銭の収受及び払戻しに関する事項並びに住宅宿泊仲介業者の責任に関する事項が明確に定められていないとき。

If the Commissioner of the Tourism Agency has established and made a public notice on the general terms and conditions of the private lodging intermediary services (including cases in which the Commissioner has changed and made a public notice on them), and the private lodging intermediary establishes terms and conditions of its private lodging intermediary services that are identical to the general terms and conditions of the private lodging intermediary services or changes the terms and conditions of its private lodging intermediary services that it has already established so that they are identical to the general terms and conditions of the private lodging intermediary services, the notification under paragraph (1) is deemed to have been made for those terms and conditions.

観光庁長官が標準住宅宿泊仲介業約款を定めて公示した場合(これを変更して公示した場合を含む。)において、住宅宿泊仲介業者が、標準住宅宿泊仲介業約款と同一の住宅宿泊仲介業約款を定め、又は現に定めている住宅宿泊仲介業約款を標準住宅宿泊仲介業約款と同一のものに変更したときは、その住宅宿泊仲介業約款については、第一項の規定による届出をしたものとみなす。

A private lodging intermediary must make a public notice on the terms and conditions of the private lodging intermediary services pursuant to the provisions of Order of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.

住宅宿泊仲介業者は、国土交通省令で定めるところにより、住宅宿泊仲介業約款を公示しなければならない。
