By booking this property the GUEST affirms and warrants that their primary residence is located at an address other than the PROPERTY location described above. The Guest expressly represents that their occupancy of the premises is solely for transient and temporary purposes. The Guest further acknowledges and agrees that this AGREEMENT does not create, nor is it intended to create, a landlord-tenant relationship under any applicable state or local law. Rather, the relationship between the parties is that of a licensor (Owner) and licensee (Guest), and the Guest shall not acquire any tenancy rights in or to the PROPERTY.

b) Access to the PROPERTY will not be provided until the GUEST deposit is received
c) The GUEST deposit must be received within 48 hours of executing this AGREEMENT. If arrival is within 24 hours of executing this AGREEMENT, the GUEST deposit must be received prior to arrival. If GUEST deposit is not received within these timeframes, the booking may be subject to cancellation and all monies paid in advance shall be forfeited by the GUEST.
d) For extensions only: If the GUEST extends their stay under a new AGREEMENT but later cancels that extension for any reason without paying the required additional booking fees, the deposit from the original AGREEMENT shall be forfeited to the HOST as compensation for lost future bookings resulting from reserving the property for the GUEST.
e) The GUEST deposit amount is to be held as security for the full and faithful performance by GUEST of all terms and conditions herein.

This includes, but is not limited to, deep cleaning, stain removal, odor remediation, excessive garbage removal, and disposal fees for items left at the property, such as mattresses or large furniture brought onto the premises without approval. If the total cost of such damages, repairs, replacements, cleaning, disposal, utility overages, administrative time, or loss of rental income exceeds the amount of the security deposit, the GUEST agrees to pay the remaining balance upon written notice and receipt of an itemized statement of charges. Payment of any outstanding balance is due within the time specified in the notice. The HOST reserves the right to pursue additional collection efforts or legal remedies as permitted by law for any unpaid amounts resulting from the GUEST’s non-compliance with this AGREEMENT.

This amount represents a reasonable estimate of lost rental opportunity and holding costs. The fee will be deducted from the security deposit. If the total amount due exceeds the security deposit, the GUEST agrees to pay the remaining balance upon receipt of an itemized statement. Payment is due immediately upon notification.
