Guest Rental Agreement, Terms & Conditions

In regard to this agreement, a Transient Guest (Guest), does not establish a property right or legal interest in the lodging property. The Guest is entitled to enjoy a right to privacy, yet, this right is superseded by the right to enter the lodging property for maintenance and emergency purposes, with or without the guest’s permission. Overall, it is our goal for our guests to remain undisturbed during their stay.
