***ONLY GUEST 21 years or over may book this home***

1) The guest who books the house is responsible for the behavior of all of the guests in the house.

2) We expect you to be responsible and treat the house well. We are in a residential area. People live all around us, and we respect their right to peace and privacy. Quiet Hours are mandated by Durham law between 10pm and 7am. You must not be on the outside spaces making noise during these times. Durham takes its Noise Ordinance very seriously, and if a police car drives by and hears noise, you may be cited and face sizable fines. If police are called because of disturbances in the house or noise levels, you will be immediately evicted with no refunds.

3) Access to the tiny house is through the front door. There is private parking in the yard once you enter the property gate.

4) Smoking is not allowed anywhere on the property. If there is evidence of smoking on the property (such as cigarette butts) or a smoke smell from cigarettes, cigars, or vaping devices in the house when the cleaning crew comes, you will be charged a fine of $500. THIS IS NOT AN ADDITIONAL FEE to remediate the smoke smell, THIS IS A FINE for breaking the NO SMOKING rule. Smoking on any part of the property is NOT permitted. We WILL NEVER MAKE AN EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE.

5) No illegal substances or criminal activity allowed on the property. Illegal activity will be grounds for eviction and/or arrest with no refunds.

6) The guest responsible for the booking shall be responsible for everyone entering the premises. Any damage caused; either by registered party or any visiting guest(s) of theirs will be charged to the guest responsible for the booking.

7) Please lock the doors whenever you leave and close the windows. To lock the keyless lock, press any key on the digital lock after you close the door. If it rains and the windows have been left open, you will be responsible for any damage to the house or its furnishings.

8) Please treat our home respectfully and leave the house in the same condition that you found it in.

9) Clean up before you leave: all bottles, take out, food, cans, boxes and anything else you brought into the house must be disposed of in the trash bin in outside the front door near the fire logs. There are lots of trash/garbage bags on top of the closet in the bathroom.
