For good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:


Property:
The property is located at: México 1 Km 28, Tourist Corridor, Costa Azul, San José del Cabo, B.C.S.


The property is furnished and includes all furnishings and amenities provided within the unit; please reference the attached Inventory Agreement/List (“Exhibit A”) to understand the expectations with maintaining said furnishings and amenities, as well as a list of items provided during Guest’s stay. Entire unit has been photographed and videoed for condition and inventory purposes.

The maximum number of guests is limited to two (2) persons for A102, A103, A402, B504, four (4) persons for B201, B301, five (5) persons for B501, six (6) persons for A104, A204, A501, B302, seven (7) persons for A401, and eight (8) persons for A304.


Term of the Rental:


Depending on the unit, the rental begins at 4:00pm for A104, A401, and B301, or 3:00pm for all other units on first day of Guest’s reservation (the “Check-in Date”) and ends at 10:00am for A104 or 11:00am for all other units on the last day of Guest’s reservation (the “Check-out Date”). The “Check-in Date” is defined as the first date showing on Guest’s reservation, and the “Check-out Date” is defined as the last date showing on Guest’s reservation.


Extended Stays:


For stays 30 days or longer, Guest will be charged a damage deposit of $1,000. If Guest pays the deposit via Venmo or Zelle, Guest will receive 100% of the deposit back within seven (7) days of the checkout date, assuming there are no items missing or damages done. If Guest pays the deposit via credit card, Guest will receive the damage deposit back, minus processing fees (approximately 3%), and assuming there are no items missing or damages done.


HOA Rules:


Guest agrees to abide by the attached HOA Rules ("Exhibit B") at all times while at the property, and shall cause all members of the rental party and anyone else Guest permits on the property to abide by the following rules at all times while on the property. Any breaking of these rules may lead to a fine and Guest is responsible to pay the full amount of said fines.


Parking:


One (1) vehicle is permitted per condo and vehicle must be parked in the designated parking spot. Any illegally parked cars are subject to towing - applicable fines/towing fees are the sole responsibility of the Guest/vehicle owner.


Housekeeping:


While linens and bath towels are included in the unit, daily maid service is not included in the rental rate. However, it is available upon request at an additional rate. We do not permit bath towels or linens to be taken from the unit; beach towels are provided, which can be used while visiting the pool and/or beach.


As part of the maid service, the following items will be provided: trash bags, toilet paper, body wash, shampoo/conditioner, hand soap, dish soap, sponge, paper towels, dishwasher detergent, coffee, tea, salt/pepper, sugar, aluminum foil, ziplock bags, saran wrap, laundry detergent, and dryer sheets. These items are supplied to ensure the Guest's needs are met for up to seven days. If supplies deplete after the seven-day period, Guest is responsible for replenishing these items.


Smoking:


Smoking is NOT allowed inside property at any time. Smoking is allowed outside only. It is Homeowners preference that no smoking occurs on the balcony of the unit, but rather on the grounds away from the condo. If any smoking does take place on the balcony, Guest agrees to ensure the sliding doors are completely closed until smoking materials are completely extinguished.


Access:


The Homeowner/Agent reserves the right to access the property at any time during the Guest's stay to ensure compliance with Homeowners Association (HOA) rules and regulations, helping to prevent fines due to HOA rule violations, or for repairs or inspections. The Homeowner/Agent will make every effort to notify the Guest in advance if entry to the unit is needed.


In the event of an unexpected malfunction of the elevator, or the closure of the pool, jacuzzi, or tennis court, the Homeowner/Agent will promptly inform all upcoming guests about the issue. However, no refunds or discounts will be provided for any resulting inconvenience.


Garbage:


Any garbage must be stowed in the proper garbage or recycling receptacle, which are located in the parking lot near the fence. Tenants are cautioned to not leave trash out as it attracts bugs and animals into the condo.


Water, Electricity, and Plumbing:


Water and electricity are both in short supply and expensive, please conserve both. The plumbing in Mexico is not designed to accept toilet paper; toilet paper, along with other items such as tampons, napkins, and hair should be discarded in the waste bin next to the toilet. If it is found that foreign objects have been flushed and clog the system, Guest will be charged for the repairs.


Early Check-in/Late Check-out:


Please reference the "Term of the Rental" section above to see the specific check-in/check-out time for your unit. Early check-ins and late check-outs are based on availability and subject to a $50.00 fee.


Maintenance and Repair:


The Guest shall maintain the property in good, clean condition and use the premise in only a careful and lawful manner. The Guest shall leave the premises in a well-maintained condition at the expiration of the rental agreement, defined by the landlord as being habitable for future guests. Guest will pay for maintenance and repairs should the premise be left in a lesser condition. The Guest agrees that the landlord shall deduct costs of said services from the security deposit prior to refund if Guest causes damage to the premises or its furnishings.
Guest is responsible for any missing or damaged item(s) in the condo. If anything is damaged, stolen, or misplaced, Homeowner/Agent will bill Guest for the cost of the item, plus the cost of the shipping fee (28% the cost of the item), and a $25.00 service charge to cover all additional expenses.


Damage Deposit:


If paying through Venmo or Zelle, Homeowner/Agent will collect a fully refundable $500 damage deposit, which must be paid within two (2) weeks of your arrival (upon request). Guests will not be permitted to enter the complex until the deposit has been received. The deposit will be refunded in full, via Venmo or Zelle, within three (3) days of the Guest’s departure, provided there are no damages or outstanding fees.


If paying with credit card, Homeowner/Agent reserves the right to charge Guest’s credit card without limitations to cover any damage to the property including but not limited to: (a) Additional cleaning charges above normal wear and tear, (b) damages resulting from intentional, willful or reckless conduct, (c) evidence of or damages by smoking, (d) items at property lost or stolen by Guest., (e) Any other cost (not previously agreed upon) incurred by Homeowner/Agent due to Guest’s stay. If fire occurs from Guest negligence, Guest will cover any/all costs.


Fraudulent Bookings:


Any reservation obtained through deceitful means will result in the forfeiture of any paid deposit or rental fees, and the party responsible will be denied check-in privileges.


Guest assures Homeowner/Agent that all tenants will abide by the terms and conditions of this agreement, maintaining the rental property in good order and appearance, and behaving in a manner that is respectful to neighbors.


Additionally, Guest assures Homeowner/Agent that any tenant who violates the terms of this agreement will be immediately denied occupancy and will be held accountable for any damages or expenses caused by them or their guests.


Furthermore, Guest agrees that anyone found using drugs within the premises or permitting others to do so will be promptly denied continued occupancy.


Lastly, Guest and their visitors must refrain from disturbing, bothering, endangering, or inconveniencing neighbors. The premises must not be used for any immoral or unlawful purposes, nor should any laws or ordinances be violated, and no waste or nuisance should be committed on or around the property.


Severe Weather:


Homeowner/Agent does not refund payments or deposits, or modify reservation dates, due to canceled or shortened stays due to inclement weather. Homeowner/Agent highly recommends travel insurance and specifically recommends that Guest purchases a travel insurance policy including “Cancel For Any Reason”, “Trip Cancellation”, and “Trip Interruption" coverages.


Pet Policies:


Per the HOA, pets, including service animals, are NOT permitted at Las Olas.


Liability:


Guest acknowledges and accepts that neither Homeowner/Agent nor the Las Olas HOA will be liable for any accidents, injuries Guest acknowledges and accepts that neither Homeowner/Agent nor the Las Olas HOA will be liable for any accidents, injuries (including death), or loss of personal property that may happen during the rental period, whether inside or outside the Las Olas complex. It is important to be aware that some exterior guardrails/walls are low, and previous accidents have occurred due to slipping.


Travel Insurance:


Homeowner/Agent is not responsible for any cancellations or modifications of trips due to weather conditions, road hazards, vehicle breakdowns, epidemics/pandemics, loss of life or injury prior to the trip, or other unforeseen conditions that may hinder the ability for the trip to take place as scheduled.

Please note, the “Cancel For Any Reason” add-on is the highest level of protection offered and in most cases can only be added to the policy within 15 days of making your first payment towards the trip.


Furthermore, we advise Guest to purchase travel insurance to safeguard against accidents, injuries, or loss of personal property during their stay, as neither Homeowner/Agent nor the Los Olas HOA will be responsible for such occurrences.
