Deposit,
what is it for, and when will it be returned?
Reservation/Security Deposit: A
reservation/security deposit (“Deposit”) is required for all
rentals to hold your reservation until 30 days prior to your
rental date, at which time the final rental balance is payable.
Note: The Deposit is NOT a down
payment or partial payment on your rents.
The deposit will be returned subject to, but not
limited by the following:
(a) no damage to the premises beyond normal wear and tear;
(b) no excess cleaning
requirement due to renters' evidenced negligence, such as
bringing a pet;
(c) no items missing from the premises ($30 replacement fee each
for missing Sea Ranch ID passes);
(d) garbage not removed from
house (place in garbage can dug in-ground on the berm near the
driveway, or take home with you); and
(e) there are no unpaid, late, or
outstanding rent or other charges owing.
Any material breach of the rental agreement or the general or
specific home rules during your tenancy may be cause for
forfeiture of up to the entire deposit. *
Implicit with
the RENTAL AGREEMENT renter agrees to accept
responsibility for any damages resulting from his stay that
exceed the deposit amount.
Deposit refunds are mailed within 21 days of departure. However, if you paid your Deposit or Rent by PayPal, we usually process the Deposit refund via PayPal just one or a few days after your check-out date. Please do not contact us to check on the refund status until AFTER these 21 days.**
----------------------------------
* A material breach includes: exceeding
the occupancy upon which the
rental amount was based; bringing a pet; inviting
not registered guests for partying; or smoking inside
the premises.
** If the rental was facilitated through Airbnb,
HomeAway, TripAdvisor, or a similar agency, the deposit
is typically collected by them and returned by them at
their customary timing.
