Transcription

1 Endless Summer Nites Rental Agreement 412 Wells Street Lake Geneva, Wisconsin Reservations are on a first-come basis; simply receiving this agreement does NOT confirm your reservation. Numerous agreements are sent out to guests, so we recommend making your reservation as soon as possible to guarantee your requested dates. Renter will receive an confirmation confirming their reservation once the reservation request form and the initial deposit is paid. Endless Summer Nites of Lake Geneva, LLC does not accept 3rd party reservations. The person reserving the home must be the same person whose credit/debit card is submitted. In addition, the renter/person reserving the home must be present at the home for the duration of the stay. It should also be noted that since guests are allowed to book dates on a first-come basis, we occasionally will have open dates left unreserved. In that event, we make every attempt to get the open dates filled by offering reduced rates or specials. Should you receive one of these special offerings your confirmed reservation rate will NOT be eligible for a rate reduction. RESERVATIONS All reservations require a 50% deposit to hold the unit. The balance is due 30 days before arrival. Endless Summer Nites, LLC permits the payment of rent and/or security deposit by the following forms of payment: American Express, Visa, Master Card, and Discover. You must be 21 years of age to make a reservation. Renter will be an occupant of the home during the entire reserved period. Other guests will be family members, friends or other responsible adults. Renter is responsible for communicating and informing all guests, family members, friends and other responsible adults of the contents contained in the rental agreement. If all payments are not received at least 30 days prior to the Check-In Date, Endless Summer Nites, LLC, without notice to Guest, treat the failure to pay as a cancellation by Guest of the reservation, may rent the property to another person, and may deal with the Reservation Deposit as provided below under Guest Cancellation Policy. CANCELLATIONS You are reserving a rental home, which means when we experience a cancellation the potential loss for us is 100%. We are not a hotel with hundreds or even dozens of rooms to offset this kind of loss. Once we accept your reservation and block off the time, we will no longer accept new requests for that time period. We field hundreds of reservation requests, so it is highly likely that any time period reserved (and then ultimately cancelled), would have been reserved by another party. If you must cancel your reservation, we will make every attempt to re-rent the home. Written notification is required by the signing tenant in order to release the existing rental agreement back to us in an effort to rent home again. At that time we will make the home available for rent in an effort to rent the property. Should the home be re-rented for the full amount the following will apply: You will be charged a $ cancellation fee, all credit card transactions ran will be subject to a 5% fee or $50 whichever is greater. Should the home need to be discounted to get re-rented, you will be required to inform us via mail or accepting the discounted rate and the above mentioned cancellation and credit card fees will apply. You will receive a refund for the balance which will be sent to you once the new rental is secured and payment has been received in full. Should the home not be re-rented no refunds or partial refunds will be given, you are responsible for payment in full. If the possibility of a cancellation concerns you, please look into trip cancellation insurance. There are several sites online that explain the policies, and offer this service such as InsureMyTrip.com or TravelSafe.com. SECURITY DEPOSITS In lieu of a security deposit we will keep your credit card on file as a security deposit. Use of a Debit Card authorizes Endless Summer Nites of Lake Geneva, LLC to obtain a $ security deposit prior to arrival on the debit card provided. The purpose of the security deposit is to protect the home and it s contents from malicious or negligent damage and/or the home being left in abnormally dirty conditions resulting in excessive cleaning costs (i.e. carpet/furniture stains, furniture damage, incomplete check-out procedures, broken or stolen items, pet damages, eviction charges, etc.). It is unlawful to remove any items from the home. Such actions are grounds for prosecution. It is the tenant s responsibility to report, upon arrival, any damages found and/or

2 any repairs or maintenance needed. You are responsible for any and all damages that occur to the property or its contents by you or any other member of your group while you are the registered occupant of the property. If we discover that there has been damage to the property or its contents while you are the occupant we will capture an amount from your credit card to cover the estimated cost of repairs. The amount we capture will be an estimate and will probably be more than the actual cost of repairs. We will provide a statement of the damages and the cost of the repairs after they have been completed. If there is a refund due it will be returned to the credit/debit card after all repairs have been made. If the cleaning company detects any evidence of smoking in the home you will be billed an additional $200 to deodorize the home.
