Rental Agreement and House Rules: Once you book, you agree to these terms.

General Principles:

• These House Rules are intended to ensure that our property and neighbors are respected. Rest assured, there should be no problems if that happens, but if you feel you cannot follow our Rules, we respectfully ask that you not book with us.
• Please respect our property and neighbors (there are families in the association) and keep noise to a minimum, especially after 10 p.m. Guests are not permitted past 10 p.m.

Zero Tolerance Policy:

• If any party that may disturb our neighbors is thrown, large or small, or anyone engages in drug use, including marijuana use, we will require you to leave the property and impose the fines below.

Damage Deposit and Fines:

• We have overwhelmingly positive relationships with our guests and are rarely forced to fine anyone. Our intent is not to prevent you and your group from enjoying yourselves. We want all of our guests to have fun! Instead, our intent is to weed out bad actors and prevent situations that may disturb our neighbors and damage our property.
• We impose fines if any party is thrown, large or small ($1,000); anyone smokes in the property ($350); the keys are not returned ($35); the garage door opener is not returned ($100); or any theft occurs ($500 minimum depending on the item). We may also impose a $100 fine for excessive noise.
• If you timely let us know that an item is missing or damaged, we will simply charge a replacement cost. But if this is unreported, we will impose a fine of, or reduce your damage deposit by, three times the replacement cost for the missing or damaged item.
• Parking in the correct spot, described below, and properly centering your car between the lines is critical. Failure to center your vehicle in the spot will prevent neighbors from being able to park and will result in a $75 fine.
• If the number of guests exceeds the number specified in the reservation, we will impose a $25 charge per unspecified guest each night. If the number of guests exceeds the maximum allowed by our listing, we will impose $50 fine for each extra guest each night, and either keep your damage deposit or impose a $100 fine.
• On rare occasion, when our home is left unusually dirty, the cleaner charges extra. If this occurs, you will be charged $50 for each hour of cleaning beyond the allotted cleaning time.
• Checking out after 11 a.m. on the last day of your stay may result in a $50 fine if you are not out by 11:15 a.m. and an additional $50 fine for each subsequent hour.

Prior to Booking:
o We require that you have verified your email and phone number through the rental site. We also encourage you to provide additional identify verification such as your social media profile, a government-issued ID and a clear image of yourself.

After Booking:
o After booking with us and before your stay, we will require you to send us a picture of your government-issued ID. (We respect your privacy. This security process is no different from a hotel requiring you to present your ID upon arrival.) Upon receipt of your ID, we will send you the access instructions for the unit approximately one week before your stay or else immediately if your stay is less than one week away.
 We may call you to conduct a final screening. If we reach out to you, access instructions will not be released until we speak. If we do not hear back from you in 24-48 hours after reaching out for the screening, we may ask you to cancel your reservation.

Check-out:
o Check-out is at 11am on the last day of your stay. This check-out time applies to all stays unless: (1) an alternate plan has been agreed to and (2) payment for late check-out or extending your stay has been made. The alternate check-out plan and payment must be made at a reasonable time before the last day of your stay.
o Checking out on time is extremely important. We cannot offer last-minute exceptions. The cleaners will clean the condominium right after your stay, and new guests often check in shortly thereafter.
