Payment Options
Owner strongly prefers and encourages payments by
credit card via the highly secure Internet Bank PayPal.
Two payments are required: the $300 refundable security "Deposit" and the rental Balance (consisting of the
sum of (a) total rent, (b) cleaning/processing fee, and (c)
mandatory transient occupancy tax).
Payment of the Deposit is required to hold the reservation and
is only acceptable by credit card via PayPal (no fee applies to
this payment). If the rental date is within 30 days from date of
booking, payment of the rental Balance is due immediately and
can only be made via PayPal – and no fee applies.
If the rental date is further out than 30 days, the rental
Balance is due no later than 30 days prior to the rental date
and may be paid by personal check (U.S. Bank only) or by credit
card via PayPal, in which latter case a 2% PayPal fee co-payment
applies. However, if the rental date is further out than 30
days, we often do offer the renter the option of paying the
entire balance immediately via PayPal, and then without
charging the 2% fee. For all credit card payments, the
Owner will issue a "Payment Request" through PayPal via e-mail
to the renter, upon which the renter can conveniently and
securely complete the payment; no PayPal account is required.
Chasing after payments is a time-consuming activity for the owner. You WILL NOT be reminded on any payment due dates except credit card payment of the rental Balance. A late payment fee of $50 will automatically be deducted from the deposit refund for any check payments received after the due date, and for any credit card payments delayed without reasonable cause more than 24 hours from the time the request was issued. If payment is not made within 5 days of the due date, the reservation will be canceled and the property will be opened up for other rentals, and money paid shall be forfeited. Reservations may be reinstated, and forfeited money reapplied, upon payment of the amount due, if the property is still available, at the Owner’s discretion.
