Reservation:
Your reservation will be held for you only after your application is approved and security deposit is paid in full.
Deposit:
Acceptance of the deposit is firm. Non-emergency cancellations will forfeit the deposit. The deposit will be refunded to you, less the cleaning/restocking fee (see above) within 21 days after you depart. If an apartment requires excessive cleaning, or if there is damage to the apartment or supplies, you will be charged. Only verifiable emergency cancellations will be considered for deposit reimbursement.
Cleaning Fee:
The cleaning fee is collected upfront and is non-refundable. We do not provide cleaning services during your stay and do expect the suite to be periodically cleaned by you. Excess cleaning charges will be deducted from your security deposit.
Change Fee:
A change fee of $100 is required to switch units if your application is already approved for another suite.
Rent Due: Your rent will be due on the date of arrival and monthly thereafter until a check out date is confirmed. We will automatically charge the credit card used for the deposit 1-2 business days before your due date for processing time.
Please contact us at least 3 business days before your due date to change payment methods. Cash not accepted, checks must be approved. Rent received late is subject to $25 per day extra charge. Final portions of your stay WILL BE prorated.
Notice of Departure:
Minimum stay is 30 days. There will be no refunds for less than 30 days.
We require a minimum 2 week notice prior to your departure in writing by email.
Failure to provide the minimum 2 week notice of departure will forfeit your security deposit.
Failure to vacate on confirmed departure date will result in forfeiture of deposit.

Garbage/Recycling/Composting:
Regional cities are now strictly enforcing the separation of true garbage from recyclables and food and yard scraps. Garbage is to be put in a dumpster, or you might have an individual garbage can (in which case you are responsible to take it to the sidewalk). Recyclables go to the big blue bins. Food scraps go into small green bins.
Parking space:
One parking space will be assigned to you if applicable.
Pets:
Pets accepted on a case-by-case basis; one-time pet fee required. Unapproved pets will result in loss of security deposit.
Smoking:
Smoking and/or vaping is not allowed. Failure to comply will result in loss of security deposit.
Personal items left behind/mail:
We do not forward mail or personal items left after move out.

We reserve the right to seek redress for defamation libel or slander to the fullest extent of the law. We reserve the right to reject your request for occupancy or to cancel reservations (with a full refund) in our sole discretion.
