    GUEST REQUIREMENTS AND VERIFICATION

    The primary guest must be at least 21 years old and must stay at the property throughout the reservation unless written approval is provided in advance. The primary guest is responsible for the reservation and the conduct of all registered guests and visitors.

    For the safety and protection of our guests and properties, reservations may require identity verification and screening through a secure third-party service. This may include a signed rental agreement, valid government-issued photo identification, a live selfie, and reservation screening. The name on the identification must match the name on the reservation.

    When required, verification instructions will be emailed after booking and must be completed before check-in instructions are released. Please check your spam or junk folder if you do not receive the email.



    SECURITY DEPOSIT

    For reservations where a security deposit is applicable and disclosed, a $250 refundable security deposit is required before check-in.

    The deposit may be applied toward documented costs resulting from property damage, missing items, excessive cleaning, smoking, unauthorized pets or occupants, lockouts, lost access items, or other house-rule violations. Any remaining balance will be released after check-out in accordance with the reservation terms.



    HOUSE-RULE VIOLATIONS, DAMAGES, AND CHARGES

    Guests are responsible for following all house rules, property policies, and community requirements disclosed in the listing or provided before check-in.

    House-rule violations may result in charges starting at $250 when the violation causes or requires additional cleaning, remediation, property damage, replacement of missing items, lockout or security services, unauthorized occupancy or pet-related costs, or another documented loss or expense.

    The amount requested will be based on the circumstances and supported by applicable evidence, such as photographs, videos, inspection reports, guest communications, estimates, receipts, or invoices. Charges may exceed $250 when the documented cost of addressing the violation is greater.

    Serious or repeated violations, fraudulent activity, or conduct that threatens people, property, or the peaceful enjoyment of others may result in termination of the stay and removal from the property. Refund eligibility will be determined according to the reservation terms and applicable policies.

    Routine maintenance, inspections, pest control, or other property services may occur during a stay. Authorized personnel may require access for scheduled service, necessary repairs, inspections, safety concerns, or emergencies. We will provide advance notice whenever reasonably possible.

    POLICY ENFORCEMENT

    The host reserves the right to terminate a stay and require immediate departure if there is evidence of serious or repeated house-rule violations, fraudulent activity, or behavior that threatens the safety of others, the property, or the quiet enjoyment of guests, residents, or neighbors. When permitted under the reservation terms and applicable policies, termination may occur without a refund.
