Your security deposit shall be applied to your rent, unless paid by check. A check will be held for fourteen (14) days after departure in the event of a remaining balance or unit damage. Credit card numbers will be held for fourteen (14) days after departure in the event of a remaining balance or unit damage. If any damages occur, they will be itemized and billed to your credit card or deducted from your check. If damage exceeds security deposit, you will be billed for said difference.

Changes to reservations occurring less than the stated minimum days required above shall result in the security deposit being held for lost rent, unless the unit is rebooked for the same period.
