RENTAL AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT IS MADE AND ENTERED INTO BETWEEN THE UNDERSIGNED GUEST (HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AS GUEST) AND [YOUR LEGAL NAME], (HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AS AGENT) FOR THE RENTAL OF THE PROPERTY (HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AS THE PROPERTY). NOW THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION OF THE MUTUAL COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS SET FORTH BELOW AND OTHER GOOD AND VALUABLE CONSIDERATION, THE RECEIPT AND SUFFICIENCY OF WHICH ARE ACKNOWLEDGED, THE PARTIES COVENANT AND AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

RESERVATION POLICIES: 50% of payment is required upon booking. Remaining 50% will be due 30 days prior to arrival. If booked through Airbnb, they will handle payments. Otherwise, the card on file will be automatically charged at time of booking and 30 days prior to arrival. The reservation name, the credit card name and the rental agreement signature must all match. All payments must come from the person on the reservation. We will return any payments (minus the bank fees) received from an account that does not match the reservation name. Bank fees are 3% when our bank takes the unacceptable payment, plus another 3% to return the unacceptable payment.

Total payment includes the rent amount, fees and taxes.

The security deposit is $500 (unless otherwise specified via previous conversation) and will be held 2 days prior to arrival until 5 days after departure.

To protect your vacation investment, we strongly recommend you purchase travel insurance. You acknowledge that changes or cancellations may result in loss of up to the total paid to date.

CANCELLATION POLICIES & FEES Written (email) notice is required if you need to cancel your reservation with more than the required advance notice, which is 30 days prior to the check in date for full refund minus the 3% credit card transaction fee (unless you booked via Airbnb where we will abide by their firm cancellation policy or unless you booked via VRBO or Google Vacation Rentals where we abide by their moderate cancellation policies). If you need to cancel your reservation with more than the required advance notice, we will refund the initial payment. The Agent can not accept cancellation requests with less than the required advance notice. The Agent reserves the right to rent the unit to a different group if the reservation is not paid in full by the payment due date. Cancellations occurring due to lack of total payment will result in forfeiture of the initial payment plus any rent, taxes, and fees paid. In no event shall a Guest assign or sublet the Rental Property in whole, or in part.

DAMAGES AND MISSING ITEMS

Guest will be financially responsible for damage to the property. Guest authorizes The Agent to charge Guest’s credit card in the event of the following: damage or theft; flea infestation caused by a pet; unauthorized pets; extensive cleaning required at check-out; evidence of smoking (all properties are non-smoking); exceeding occupancy or parking limits, and any other mentioned charges/policies in this Rental Agreement.

Guest will be notified of any damage/costs in writing. Excessive damage may result in Guest being charged for the relocation or compensation to the incoming guest if check-in is delayed as a result of said damage. Any material damage to the Rental Property will be charged immediately to the Guest’s credit card. Guest, in signing below, assumes full responsibility for any items damaged due to misuse or negligence and for any items found to be missing. Guests are responsible for notifying The Agent immediately upon check-in if the Rental Property is found in less than good condition or any damage (other than normal wear and tear) is noted. If damages occur during your stay, please notify us immediately.

REFUNDS

The Rental Agreement is a legally binding agreement between Guest and The Agent. Your reservation and signed Rental Agreement bind you to a specific property for a specific period of time. There should be no expectation of refunds or relocation because you are disappointed with the property you have rented or in the event that something associated with the property is not working to your satisfaction. All properties are privately owned and furnished per the owner's requirements, so unlike a hotel, we cannot relocate you without specific authorization from the Property Owner. In the event that a problem arises during your stay, we will make every attempt to solve it in a timely manner. There will be no refunds for mechanical failure of appliances, HVAC units, etc.

HURRICANE/SEVERE WEATHER EVACUATION

In the event of an ordered evacuation due to hurricanes or other severe weather, you are required by state law to vacate property. The Agent will not issue refunds in part or in full for inclement weather. Our recommendation for travel during hurricane season or severe weather is for you to research and purchase trip cancellation insurance.
