A copy is below for your reference AirBNB Vacation Rental Agreement We, the Renters (also referred to as “Tenants” and “Guests”) agree to the following: 1) No un-booked and unregistered guests.

The house is arranged for you and the stated # of people at booking for you and your group to enjoy.

We enforce this rule so please do not violate this rule or you may risk cancellation mid-stay. We have outside cameras that monitors entries / exits and since we live in the house, we obviously know who comes and goes. 2) There is NO Kitchen with cooking provisions. We have purposely disabled the Oven/Cooktop so that there is no cooking provisions in the unit in order to meet the County’s requirements. The county has banned ADU / In-Law-Unit from Short Term Rentals. What constitutes an ADU is a self-sustaining dwelling with cooking, sleeping and bathing provisions. Therefore, the oven has been disabled, and hence it doesn’t constitute a “kitchen” and is no longer categorized as an ADU. If cooking is needed, you may use the BBQ grill since there isn’t a kitchen anymore. 3) PAYMENT DUE - All rental monies are due according to the payment schedule disclosed under "Payment Policy" above on reservation acceptance. 4) CANCELATION will be set by AirBNB.

Owner will make every effort to have these items repaired but does not guarantee that they will be repaired during Guest’s occupancy. When you arrive, if you find that the house has not been cleaned to normal standards please notify the Owner immediately. We will do our best to have tradesmen attend to the problems but may not be able to fix everything over holidays and weekends.
