Dear Guest
Here is the rental agreement for your stay in the property from ____SAMPLE_________ to ____SAMPLE_________. Please take the time to read over the agreement and sign and return the last page to us before your arrival date.
We remind our guests that all of our vacation rental homes are privately owned homes and ask that you treat your rental home with respect.
This rental agreement is a binding legal contract and should be carefully reviewed. By entering into this contract, the guest is agreeing to all of the obligations and responsibilities outlined in this document.
Guest agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Owner and their representatives from and against any liability for personal injury or property damage sustained by any person (including Guest's family and any guests), as a result of any cause unless caused by the gross negligence or the intentional willful act of the Owner.
This agreement is entered into, by and between Morton & Furbish Vacation Rentals (Agent) on behalf of the Owner of this property (Owner) and (Guest) who is responsible for the actions of their family and guests. The Guest hires from the Owner for use as a vacation home, those premises described in "Rental Property" for a term commencing on "Arrival Date" at 4:00 PM or later and terminating on "Departure Date" before 10:00 AM as specified in this agreement. Please contact our office if you are going to arrive late on your check-in day or if you will be checking out early.
Because our properties are privately owned, the owner of the property has 60 days prior to your arrival date to cancel your reservation. This does not happen often, but if this should occur, Morton & Furbish Vacation Rentals will work to find you a comparable vacation property from within our inventory. If there is not another property that will work for your stay we will offer a full refund of any monies you have put down for your stay.
CAPACITY
Each property lists the number of people allowed. This is determined by the number of sleeping spaces and the capacity the septic system can sustain. We ask that you not exceed the number listed either by the size of your party or by the number of guests you have visit during your stay. Morton & Furbish Vacation Rentals has the right to ask you to leave if capacity is exceeded and you would forfeit all money paid.
The use of recreational motor vehicles, trailers, mobile homes, trucks with camper inserts in the bed, and any other vehicles that provide sleeping accommodations, for purposes other than transportation, are prohibited. Over occupancy of rental cottages INCLUDES occupying vehicles of this type and subjects tenant(s) to eviction for violation of the occupancy limits. Some areas do also prohibit even parking RV's in the driveway of a home.
Total number of Occupants in your party (including infants):
Adults: __X___ Children ___X_____
Maximum Allowed Occupants at Property: ______X_______
PAYMENT
Payment schedule: We require a 50% deposit to secure your reservation. We must have a credit card number on file.
Final payment (rent balance including all applicable taxes and fees) is due 30 days prior to your arrival date. For your convenience, we will automatically schedule your final payment using the credit card on file. One reminder will go out to you 7 days before your payment is due, giving you time to update any credit card information that is on file.

Neither the Owners nor their Agent make any representation as to the soundness or safety of any such amenities. If anyone in your party uses any amenity, with or without Owner's permission, that action shall be construed as a statement of that individual's competence to handle or utilize it safely and the Owners and the Agent shall be in no way legally accountable for any damages or injury to any persons or property resulting from such use.
