CANCELLATIONS & REFUNDS

If the TENANT cancels this lease in writing to the LANDLORD’S AGENT after the Rent Deposit is received by the LANDLORD, and 120 days or more before occupancy, then TENANT payments will be refunded at 100% of the rental deposit paid at time of cancellation, less a $250 administration fee. If TENANT cancels this lease after 120 days before occupancy, TENANT will not be entitled to a refund unless the LANDLORD re-rents the same term for an equal or greater rent, then all payments paid at the time of cancellation will be refunded to the TENANT within 30 days after the term of this lease. If the LANDLORD does not re-rent for the same term, all TENANT payments for the entire contract amount are due and forfeited to the LANDLORD. Except as stated above, no refunds will be provided for conditions or events beyond the control of the LANDLORD or the AGENT. Refunds are not provided for noise or other annoyances, such as but not limited to construction from nearby properties not owned by the landlord.

Please consider purchasing trip cancellation insurance.
