Cleaning Charge, Housekeeping*
A separate, standard housekeeping charge applies to each
rental. It covers post-rental cleaning. There is no
covered housekeeping service during the rental period. The
housekeeping charge includes use of linens, towels and bath mats
from our supplies.**
The renter is requested to perform the following
"common-sense" simple tasks:
-- wash dishes
or place in dish washer and activate washing cycle before
departing
-- place furniture, if
moved, back in original position
-- remove your trash and recyclables from the house (place
in can at driveway entrance, or take home with you)
-- close windows and lower shades, lock house.
-- remove your foods from the refrigerator
-- start washing cycle*** for all those items used from our
supplies in addition to the regular rental allotment**
* Cleaning is not part of rents but treated essentially as
pass-through rental cost; i.e.,
all Owner is trying to do is come out even. The pricing
charged for housekeeping equals Owner's experienced
averages. In the event that Renters leave the house in
pristine condition, regardless of the Cleaning Option
chosen, Owner may unilaterally refund cleaning moneys paid
if his housekeepers' invoice is substantially less. On the
other hand, in the unlikely event that, due to evidential
negligence of Renters, the housekeepers' invoice
substantially exceeds the amount paid by Renters, Owner may
recoup the difference from the Security Deposit. In this
context, the word "substantial" means approximately $30.
**
As "regular rental allotment" we provide the
linens that are on
the beds upon arrival of the guests, as well as
one large towel, one hand towel, and one wash
towel per renter per rental
period. However, there
are additional supplies in the closets. As a courtesy, our renters
are welcome to make use of those additional
supplies, but
they are then REQUESTED to start the
washing cycle for those
additionally used supplies.
