Sublets

All guests agree not to sublet or assign this rental agreement.

As a guest, you agree not to demand or sue for refund of rental money in any case, whether, you check-out early, or you do not check-in, or if you stay the full time.

All properties are considered clean, decent, safe and sanitary. Guest may not use cleanliness, ambiance / decor of home condition, etc.; or any reason other than a personal emergency (approved by owner in writing or verbal) to check-out early with refund.

The management and owner must have the opportunity to re-rent the home upon your early checkout and know of any and all problems, so that we may correct them at Owner / Manager’s sole discretion. We will come in and correct cleanliness of the home (if needed). On some rare occasions, the home may not be cleaned before your check-in, by inadvertent fault of cleaners, delays, scheduling mishap, etc. If home is not cleaned with fresh towels and linens upon check-in to our home or if you find any other problem(s), Guest agrees to call Management immediately, so that we can fix problem(s), as deemed necessary by Management.

All Guests agree that if they have paid for the $1500 in “all-damage” insurance, this will cover any damage during their stay within reason. Although rare, accidental damage from guests does happen. Traditionally, this was managed via a security deposit or vacation rental damage insurance purchased by the guest. Both are cumbersome and often have big limitations in protection. With “all-risk” protection, all accidental damage from a guest is covered unless it’s specifically excluded such as, but not limited to, normal wear and tear, infestation, or prior damage.
