and the guest will lose the entire payment and security deposit.

electrical or plumbing problem, the presence of one or more animals, the use of

tobacco or any other substance inhaled on the premises, over capacity, a complaint

from the neighborhood, excessive noise or any other serious situation), a member of

our team could enter the property and premises, without the prior consent of the

guest, to ensure the integrity of the premises.

NATURE

The property is surrounded by nature, water, and wildlife. You may see deer, turkey,

fox, squirrels, racoons, turtles, gulls and other birds, flying insects, butterflies, bugs,

etc. While we have implemented property management protocols for a country

control. We ask that you please clean up after yourself -- pick up all foods, drinks,

empty food or drink vessels, and please keep trash only in the appropriate containers,

inside or outside the home.

CLEANLINESS

It is the guest's responsibility to keep the premises clean and tidy. The guest must, if

necessary, wash the dishes they have used themselves, return everything to its

original location, collect and take out their garbage, etc. If the property is left

untidy at the end of the rental period, a fee of $60 for each additional hour of

cleaning required beyond the included cleaning will be deducted from the security

deposit.

INVENTORY

The inventory is established before arrival and after departure. A critical

walkthrough of the property after departure allows us to assess the condition of the

property per the rentals terms herein. Guest(s) must leave the premises in perfect

condition, all contents, inventory and assets in perfect condition, and fully

functional. The cost of any damage to the property and its contents, inventory and

assets will be charged to you, including a charge of $60 per hour to cover the time

spent on repairs and/or replacements (e.g., shopping). If anything that presents a

hazard that could cause damage to the apartment or to any person, guest(s) must

notify us immediately.

HOUSEKEEPING

We are happy to assist with special or additional cleaning requests. If there is an

accidental spill, let us know immediately and we will assist. Please do not spray

cleaning products on furniture or upholstered items. Failure to allow housekeeping

employees to begin work at the pre-determined departure time will result in guests

being charged a fee of $175 per hour. These hourly charges double 2 hours after

scheduled departure/check-out time and are applied at the start of each subsequent

hour. They do not apply if our team has previously authorized a late checkout.

HOLDOVER

Guest(s) acknowledges and agrees that they are taking possession of the property for

the agreed time period, and that it is important they vacate at the agreed upon

departure/check-out time. As such, guest(s) agrees that should they hold over for

any reason, or for no reason, and fail to vacate the property as agreed upon, that

Host damages may be impossible to calculate. As Liquidated Damages, the guest(s)

may be subject to pay an amount of $3,000 per day for every day the tenant holds

over after departure/check out day.

flow. Please make all grill knobs are turned off and the gas valve behind the grill is
