Damage Deposit Waiver Fee

We require a $55 non-refundable Damage Deposit Waiver fee for all reservations in lieu of charging an additional $500 security deposit fee to the property rental rate. This privilege is offered to you as our way of saying thank you for your business. The waiver covers all minor accidental damage or breakage up to $500.

Coverage does not cover loss, theft, extraordinary cleaning charges, damage resulting from negligence or willful or wanton conduct or damage by a pet (in those properties that allow pets) or loosing the key. Guests must notify the Sandy Lane Enterprises Ltd. at once of any damage during occupancy and submit a written report or the Damage Deposit Waiver is void. For reservations of which the rental amount is over $2500 weekly, an additional refundable security deposit may be required.
