I agree to pay $  payable in advance for the period:
starting   , , at 4:00 pm and
ending   , , at 11:00 am.

This is a reservation for   months (at $ per month), plus weeks (at $ per week), plus nights (at $ per night), for
 a total rent of $

(All amounts are in US dollars.)


The house will be occupied by adults and children.


I agree to vacate on time, but if I fail to do so for any reason, I agree to pay a late charge of $40 plus additional rent at the nightly rate for each day or fraction of a day that I stay over with permission of Owner's agent. I also agree to pay twice the nightly rent as a security deposit plus a cleaning fee deposit and pet deposit if applicable (shown below), and that these deposits will be refunded less any costs for cleaning, repairs, or other expenses due to my fault. This is a no-smoking house.

Rent

Security deposit (two times one night's rent stay is 30 days or less, otherwise 6 times one night's stay)

Cleaning fee

SUBTOTAL

County T.O.T. (Transient Occupancy Tax).  If the stay is for 30 days or less, tax is 10% of subtotal above; otherwise no tax.  Tax on unused security will be refunded with security refund.

Pet deposit $50 if pet is brought, refundable if no damage or extra cleaning required.

SUBTOTAL (including T.O.T. and pet deposit)

If paying from a credit card through PayPal, enter 5'% of Subtotal as service charge.

TOTAL TO PREPAY (sum of Subtotal and service charge, if any)

This total should be submitted by cashier's check or equivalent, money order, or electronic transfer (not a personal check). Also print out, complete, and mail to the address below or fax this agreement to 831-423-4840. To be sure that the payment and agreement arrive in time for your trip when there are just a few days before you want to arrive, we suggest overnight mail or electronic transfer. Management's business address is:

Sokolow Property Managment

301 Highview Court

Santa Cruz, CA 95060

We can receive your payment online from your bank account or your credit card,  through  PayPal.   To pay online, fill in the information requested on this form, print out the form, sign it, and fax it to Sokolow Property Management with a note in the margin saying that you want to pay through PayPal.   We will have PayPal send a request for the money when the fax is received.   Payment through PayPal from a bank account requires several days to clear before the money is actually transferred.   We cannot confirm your reservation until the money is transferred.   Therefore we highly recommend paying from a credit card through PayPal, which clears immediately, so we can confirm your reservation without delay, before someone else takes your desired days.

When your payment and agreement are received, property manager will send an e-mail message confirming the reservation and giving you instructions on obtaining the key.

I understand that I may cancel this reservation at any time up to 30 days before starting date and receive a full refund less a $75 cancellation fee. I agree that if I cancel with less than 30 days' notice before the starting date but at least 14 days' notice in advance, I will forfeit half of the rent deposit and receive a refund for the rest of my prepaid amounts. If I cancel less than 14 days in advance, there will be no rent refund except of the unused cleaning and security deposits.  If Interstate Highway 80 is officially closed by the Highway Patrol between my home and the north-shore Lake Tahoe exits due to road conditions so that I can't reach the cabin, I will notify the Owner's Agent by telephone at the time my decision is made not to travel. Upon verification of the road closure by Owner's Agent, I will not be charged for that one night, but the remainder of the reserved time period will still be available to me at the agreed charge. This road-closure discount is available on a daily basis.

I agree to leave the house in as good condition as when I receive it. I will pay for any damages I cause. I will leave the place reasonably clean, but I understand that a professional cleaner will also clean the place after I move out by a charge from my deposit if I leave the place reasonably clean.   See the published rental rates for cleaning fee.   The unused security deposit will be refunded as soon as possible, but within 21 days after end of rental, as provided by California law, unless delayed by the time required to repair damages.  Security deposit will be charged for extra spa cleaning due to spills into the spa water, so we advise you not to bring food or drinks to the spa.

The rent includes utilities, garbage removal, spa service (when available), and snow plow service when needed in winter. I will take reasonable care to conserve utilities. I will put my garbage in bags into the garbage can locker in front of the house, making sure the door is latched to prevent animals from getting into it. I will take all of my food and garbage out of the house when I vacate. I won't park so close to the locker that the garbage disposal workers can't remove the garbage cans. I will promptly move my car out of the way of the snow removal tractor when it arrives. (The snow will be stockpiled along the sides and rear of property.)  The outdoor spa will be kept operating throughout the year, but without a guarantee; that is, if a spa malfunction or severe weather condition prevents use of the spa, no refund or rent reduction will be made.

I will follow the instructions posted inside the house regarding winterizing the house, especially about the water shutoff and drain when my stay is finished, and about the proper setting of the heating thermostat when I'm out of the house. I understand that severe damage can occur to the plumbing system if I fail to do the winterizing in freezing weather, and that I would be financially responsible for the repair charges. Sewer blockages caused by improper things being put down drains during my stay will be repaired at my expense.

I will return all keys as instructed by Owner's agent when I vacate. I will in advance arrange with Owner if I intend to bring any pets onto the property and will be responsible for any damage that a pet causes. I'll clean up the property from any feces droppings or other mess that my pet makes. My guests and I won't annoy the neighbors by making a nuisance. I agree that violating any of my promises could end my stay in the house prematurely.

I declare that I would like to bring the following pet(s) onto the property (type and number):

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

I agree for my own safety to test the smoke detectors when I move in, by pressing the test button momentarily. I'll replace the battery if a detector fails the test. I will locate the emergency escape ladder in the alcove at the top of the stairs and become familiar with its use in case a fire escape is needed through a window. I won't smoke inside the house. I understand that landlord's insurance does not cover my belongings. I will promptly report any malfunctions of the house to Owner's agent. I agree that if the house is not available or habitable for any reason beyond the control of Owner or Owner's agent, my only remedy will be a refund.

I will follow the posted instructions for spa use. Children will not use the spa without the direct supervision of an adult. When not in use, the spa will be covered and the cover will be latched for child safety.  I will exercise care when lifting the spa cover -- the cover is supported by a mechanical lever system that should not be forced -- it will open easily if done properly.

I UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT THE USE OF THE SPA IS AT MY OWN RISK AND LIABILITY, AND AGREE TO HOLD THE OWNER AND OWNER'S AGENT HARMLESS.

I agree to have fun and enjoy my stay here and to tell my friends how nice it was. :-)
