Damage Deposit – A Damage Deposit is required upon check-in and does not apply to rent. All rental units are inspected before and after each occupant. Rental guests have full responsibility for damages incurred due to misuse, negligence, or missing items, over and above normal wear and tear. Rental guests are reminded to leave the unit in the same condition it was found or additional repair and or cleaning fees may be deducted from your deposit. The rental agent/owner has the last say regarding deductions. The Damage Deposit will be refunded and mailed back to you less any charges for damages, repairs, missing items, or extra cleaning applied. Keys are to be left on the kitchen counter.
Check-in time is at 4:00 pm on your day of arrival. Please do not arrive at the office early in anticipation of making your final payment and getting the keys to your rental. Your envelope with your key will be ready until 4:00 pm and there is no one in the building to assist you.
Checkout Time is at 10:00 am. Please ensure you adhere to the departure time as scheduled. Every home must be thoroughly cleaned and inspected before the next guest arrives. We need time to prepare for the next renter. Please note that failure to comply with the specified Checkout time may result in a deduction from your damage deposit.
