COMPLIANCE AND SAFETY POLICIES Registered Guests: Only registered guests listed on the reservation are permitted to stay overnight. - Overnight Guests: To ensure we can accommodate everyone comfortably, please let us know in advance if you're expecting additional overnight guests. This allows us to prepare any necessary bedding or towels. Adding guests during your stay may incur additional fees. - Booking for Others: If you are booking the property for someone else, please provide the legal name of the person staying and the purpose of the trip in the booking details. This is for security and insurance reasons. Unapproved guests will be charged $100 per guest per night. No illegal activities are allowed on the premises. SMOKING : 3. No Smoking: Absolutely no smoking (including vaping) is permitted inside the house. - If the sensors detect the particulates of cigarette or marijuana smoke during your stay, you will be notified and can be charged $300 to $2000 to cover for impacting availability of the place for next guests, detailed inspection of furniture, beddings and linens, and potentially ozone cleaning depending on the intensity of the impacts. - The house has advanced smoke detectors that can distinguish between marijuana, vape, and other chemical particulates in real time. If you choose to smoke, please do so outside and far from the HVAC unit in the backyard. Please dispose of cigarette butts responsibly and avoid throwing them in neighbors' yards. The house has central HVAC, so smoking near the unit in the backyard will circulate the odor throughout the house for hours. Please stay away from the HVAC unit and use the table areas in the backyard or front porch for smoking. DAMAGE PROTECTION: 4.
