Rental Agreement (agency)

Dear Guest:
Thank you for choosing our Vacation Home in your travels. Please contact us anytime with any questions. Since you have selected our property through one of our marketing agencies (Airbnb; Booking.com; TripAdvisor; HomeAway; VRBO.com; RedAwning.com, Inc. or RedAwning; etc.), they desire to facilitate this rental according to their Rental Terms, which will also apply to this reservation. We have some additional rental terms below specific to our property rental that we need you to accept as well.
1) ACCEPTANCE: realTopia Vacation Rentals Ltd. (hereinafter “realTopia” or “we” or “us” or “our”) and the Renting Party (hereinafter “Guest(s)” or “you” or “your”) agree to the following terms and conditions of this agreement.

3) CHECK-IN: You must let us know when you expect to arrive. You may check in between 4:00PM and 4:30PM on your arrival date unless you have made alternate arrangements with us. Please let us know as soon as possible if your arrival time changes. Note that we do not accept arrivals after 10PM on your Arrival Date, which will result in the forfeiture of the night's rent (please let us know immediately if this is a concern). Key code access is provided either prior to your arrival via email or upon arrival, depending on the accommodation that you have reserved. At check-in, you must notify us promptly if anything appears amiss at the accommodation. It is important that you review the Guest Book for your accommodation which contains important house rules, property details, operating instructions, emergency procedures, and an inventory of contents. DO NOT operate hot tubs, televisions, mechanical devices, or electronic devices until you have reviewed the respective instructions. Improper operation may impair performance or reception and result in a chargeable service call.
4) CHECK-OUT: You must vacate the accommodation, including parking and storage areas, before 10:00 AM on your check-out day unless prior written arrangements are made. This ensures that we have adequate time to prepare the accommodation for the next guest. If you desire a later check-out, please contact us in writing 48 hours before departure. We may be able to accommodate your request if the property is available. Late check-out up to 2 PM (if available) can also be guaranteed for a fee equal to 50% of the daily rent. Please select our online Virtual Check-Out option at www.kelownavacation.rentals before you check-out so that we can notify housekeeping.
5) TRASH REMOVAL, DISHES, AND LAUNDRY: Household garbage and recycling are to be deposited in the appropriate containment area on the property according to the local rules. Soiled dishes must be cleaned, but the final machine load may be left in the dishwasher or on the drying rack. Please start one load of used white towels in the washing machine (do not mix white towels with colours) and replace moved furniture and other items to their original location before you leave. Housekeeping will take care of bed linens and remaining towels.
6) PETS: Pets and animals of any kind are not permitted in the accommodation or anywhere on the property at any time. Fines of $200.00 will be assessed for each violation in addition to eviction and additional cleaning, professional flea and odour treatment, and repair costs. Additional fines may be assessed according to your agreement with the marketing agency.
