Additional Details:

1
Failure to follow these house rules & rental agreement without prior coordination will result in violations reported, forfeiture of deposit plus any fees for damages or fines, immediate cancellation of the reservation and immediate escort off the premises.
2
HOA = Homeowner Association. These properties are in residential neighborhoods and fall under an HOA.
- I respect my neighbors and HOA and any issues with them will limit my ability to provide rentals.

Any complaints are taken seriously and investigated immediately. Violations to these house rules & rental agreement will result in immediate cancellation of the reservation.

During quiet hours, guests are NOT allowed to stand outside or on the balcony and have conversations. Please keep balcony and deck doors closed if you step outside to smoke during quiet hours.

This is a quiet neighborhood and all sounds carry.
3
Hotels accommodate for pets, including service animals, by allocating rooms specifically for this use. I unfortunately do not have the ability to do this with my properties.

I have guests periodically with severe allergies who I would put at serious risk if I allowed pets. As a result, I cannot allow pets. I can try to refer you to other properties in the area that may allow pets.
4
No smoking allowed inside (including electronic cigarettes). Smoking is allowed in designated outdoor areas.

Cigarette and cigar butts MUST be disposed of properly. Smoking of illegal substances is strictly prohibited.

Any and all damages to the property, furniture or carpets inside or outside due to smoking is the responsibility of the guest.
5
We are a small business and cannot handle or sustain very last minute cancellations unfortunately.

Please process cancellations through the booking website you made the reservation from.
6
Please do not make adjustments or alterations to the doors, locks, wireless access points or any electronic equipment in the property without prior approval from the property owner.

This includes removing or adjusting cables from the TVs in the property as this often adds confusion and complexity in cleaning up of the property and setting up before the next guest occurs.
7
These are corporate rental properties. We cannot allow for personal household items and furniture to be brought into the properties.
8
Please do not wash or rinse items in any of the sinks that could get stuck as this may clog the sinks and showers.

Please do not flush items down the toilet other than toilet paper.

Please use towel appropriately. Regular shower towels and hand clothes are not meant to wipe off makeup. These do not come off when washed easily.
9
We had to balance the risk of the doors being left open unintentionally by a guest (unsafe for the guest and for the property as a whole) versus being automatically closed.

Guests have accidentally left the garage door open in the past. While this is a safe neighborhood, we would not want to take any unnecessary chances..
