***RENTAL AGREEMENT/SECURITY DEPOSIT***

Please note that all guests will receive an email required to sign our rental agreement that lists the house rules (listed below). We need you to sign it and share your credit card info through our secure reservation system for a $300 deposit. It's important that you review and sign this agreement within 48 hours of receipt to maintain your booking. If this step is overlooked, your reservation may be subject to automatic cancellation as per our house rules. We would not want that to happen, so we emphasize this to ensure all goes smoothly with your reservation.

The reason for the agreement is simple - it is in place to provide transparency and protection for both our valued guests and us, the hosts. The security deposit is simply a temporary hold on your card, not an actual charge, although it will count towards your credit limit. This means your money stays in your account. We put this hold on your card one week before you arrive. If there's no damage when you leave, we'll remove the hold one week after you go.
