SECURITY DEPOSIT

Each chalet requires a $750 security deposit for every rental contract. This deposit will be authorized (but not charged) on the credit card on file. The security deposit will be released within 5 business days after departure if there are no damages or breaches as described below.
The security deposit may be used to cover damages to the property, including but not limited to the structure, hot tub, contents, appliances, or lost keys. Additionally, the deposit may be used for significant cleaning needs, such as floors, walls, appliances, hot tub, or furniture, which results in an extra cleaning charge from the cleaning company.
All or part of the deposit may be forfeited if the tenant breaches any of the following:
1. Exceeding the maximum occupancy of the chalet, resulting in full forfeiture.
2. A noise complaint is reported against the tenant or any of their guests, resulting in full forfeiture.
3. Parking more than 5 cars in the designated parking areas and receiving security complaints, resulting in a $250 forfeiture.
4. Leaving the chalet in an unreasonably dirty condition that requires extra cleaning time, resulting in the forfeiture of the extra cleaning bill.
5. Violating the strict smoking prohibition within any chalets, hot tubs, or steam rooms, resulting in a $500 forfeiture.
6. Using illegal drugs anywhere on the premises, resulting in a $500 forfeiture.
