Happy pet people will tell you more about the pet they are bringing than their children. I love these folks because they will pay my pet fee, tend to be conscientious about their pet's behavior and they clean up after the pet. I don't care for the guests who claim their pet is a service animal or an ESA.
1. Increase your nightly rate by at least 5%.
2. Add a pet fee to benefit your housekeeper (or compensate you for your time cleaning). Mine is $75 per stay for 2 pets.
RULES: Pets are allowed by prior arrangement only and must be declared at booking. An unauthorized and/or undeclared pet found on the premises will result in a charge to the Guest of $100.00 per pet, payable immediately upon request. Pets should be on a flea/tick program and have all shots. Guests shall clean up pet debris in the immediate area of the cabin and grounds during their tenancy and prior to departure. Pets shall not be permitted to sleep or lie on any bed or furnishings in the cabin.
Service and ESA Animal Addendum
You have advised (our name) Cabin that you will be bringing an animal that has been classified as either a Service Animal or Emotional Support Animal (ESA) meeting the definitions of the ADA or the Fair Housing Act and are claiming exemption from the advertised Pet Fee.
The following rules apply with respect to service and assistance animals visiting the Cabin, a transitory vacation rental property:
1. A Pet Fee shall not be assessed for service or assistance animals, but guests are financially responsible for any injury to persons or damage, repair or replacement of property relating to the behavior of any service or assistance animal.
2. Guests are responsible for sanitary disposal of all waste products of their service or assistance animals, including removal of waste materials from outdoor areas and disposal of such waste in trash receptacles.
3. The guest shall provide evidence of current immunization and veterinarian contact information if requested by (our name) Cabin.
4. Service animals will be in the company of the guest at all times.
5. Assistance animals are not to be left alone in the accommodation unless crated.
6. All service and assistance animals must be properly leashed when outside the accommodation and must not be left unattended when outdoors.
7. No animal, either service or assistance, will be permitted to sleep or lie on any bed or furnishings in the accommodation.
The forgoing provisions are necessary components of the reasonable accommodation that is the subject of this Addendum. Noncompliance with this Addendum constitutes a violation of the host rules and may set in motion the remedies for violations, including compensatory fees, eviction and/or cancellation of the remainder of the reservation.
