Property Protection Program

Our properties and their contents are valuable and reasonable care should be taken with them during their rental. Our company, including the participating rental property homeowners we represent (“we”, “our”, “us”), is an additionally-insured participant in a Property Protection Program that reimburses certain costs for unintentional accidental damage to our properties during their rental occupancy. With our participation in this Program, except in certain circumstances, we may not collect and hold refundable pet, damage, or security deposits. We charge renters a non-refundable administrative fee to defer our costs for Program participation. If, during a renter’s occupancy, the renter or a member of renter’s party or renter’s guest causes any damage to real or personal property of our rental property as a result of unintentional accidental acts or omissions, the renter must notify our property management office at that time, and before check-out. For rentals that exceed the coverage limits of the Program, we may collect a supplementary refundable (net of any damage reimbursement) security deposit from renter upon check-in. Renter is liable to us for any damages caused by the renter or a member of renter’s party or renter’s guest that are not reimbursed to us or exceed the maximum per-incident limit of our coverage, and the credit card on file and/or any collected security deposit will be charged. If the renter wishes to pay a refundable (net of any damage reimbursement) damage security deposit, renter must notify us before check-in. Special or large event and/or pet deposits may be charged in certain situations.

Owner’s Closet and Garage

The Premises has a locked private Owner’s closet and private garage that is not part of Guest’s rental and Guest agrees not to disturb or tamper with the closet or garage.

Occupancy

Premises occupancy is to be limited to the maximum number allowed for that property. Occupancy numbers are established based on fire and safety codes. We do not charge based on number of occupants. The occupancy rate is there solely for safety reasons. If it is discovered that more than the maximum number of occupants allowed are “staying” on the Premises, additional individuals in Guest’s party will be asked to leave immediately. If Guest, or the additional members of Guest’s party, fail to comply, all members of Guest’s party will be asked to vacate the Premises without a refund. (To clarify: “staying” and “visiting” the Premises are two separate things. A visitor does not count against the maximum occupancy and would be considered someone who is not staying overnight on the premises. Extra visitors are fine, although we ask you not to over crowd the Premises with visitors either).

Supplies

BLPC will provide Guest with a variety of complimentary and non-refillable items such as soap, dishwasher detergent, toilet paper, trash bags, and paper towels. The Premises is also supplied with linens and towels, as well as kitchenware and utensils. All linens, towels, kitchenware, and utensils are inventoried upon check out. The Guest will be charged for any missing/damaged items. There are washers and dryers on the Premises. Feel free to use them to wash any linen’s during your stay.

Key Return

(Applicable to properties with keys only). Leave keys on kitchen counter at check out and shut the door behind you. The cleaners will be right behind you to collect the keys. Guest will be charged a minimum of $25.00 for the costs of re-keying or replacing of the lock if all keys are not returned at time of check out.

KeyFOB

(Applicable to properties with keyfobs only). Leave the keyfob on the hook within the property upon check out. There will be a $100 fee to replace any lost keyfobs.

Smoking/Fireworks

Please make sure you get all your personal items when leaving the Premises. If you leave something at the Premises, please call the office immediately and we will try to locate it for you. We cannot be responsible for any personal items left in the Premises. A $25.00 service charge is required if you request us to pick up and ship any items left in the Premises. Shipping and service charges must be paid in advance before items will be sent.
