We love long term renters. We get several temp doctors for the local hospital, house hunters shopping the area and our yearly snowbirds. Four months is our maximum stay.
In regards to cleaning and cleaning fees I came up with this and it works wonderful for us!
CLEANING RATES are set at $39. However, we reserve the right to have this readjusted (uncontested) under certain circumstances if the guest leaves without attempts in putting effort towards maintaining the condition of our facility, i.e. leaving dishes piled in the sink, undisposed food which we have to remove, over-spills/splatters on or in any appliances, excessive garbage strewed about the place and large amounts of trash we have to remove. This also includes stoppage of drains without us never being informed to resolve. We reserve the right to charge additional monies from your security deposit in order to collect for this.
For our long term guests we offer housekeeping services with a couple options.
If you wish to have housekeeping on a regular basis then you will need to inform us of a schedule which will work best for you. The fee for this is $39 per visit and is payable directly to us at the time of service.
If you wish to do your own housekeeping then just let us know and we will provide you with use of any additional cleaning agents and the vacuum.
Each bungalow includes basic cleaning agents for guest use throughout your stay.
Changing of the bedding and rotating fresh towels is provided at no extra charge.
LEASE AGREEMENT & TERMS. I understand Blue Moon Bungalows, LLC or any of its acting booking agents will authorize my credit card for the full stay plus an additional $150.00 at check-in/on line booking to cover any cost incurred during my stay including any items damaged or removed from my bungalow. The signature below is accepted as an agreement that you permit “signature on file” without dispute for any incidentals occurred or unapproved late check-out past the noon hour. Blue Moon Bungalows LLC. assumes no responsibility for loss of money, jewelry, or other valuables. We are not responsible for contents left in the bungalow or automobile and there is a minimum $150.00 fee for smoking inside any bungalow and open doorways of any bungalow. This also includes eCigs & Vapor.
With all our guests, even if booked through a 3rd party VR site, they must sign our agreement upon arrival. The key word is "uncontested" which allows me to go ahead and make any adjustments if need be down the road. Thus far, we have yet had to charge for damages and non-cleaned bungalows which I feel is because of this form we have our guests sign.
Feel free to copy any of this information and make it work for you. Let me know if you find it helpful.
