RENTAL POLICIES (House Rules)
When you book, please let me know that these work for you.

RENTAL AGREEMENT. When you book, you will immediately be sent a link to a Rental Agreement that is required to be electronically signed AT THE TIME OF BOOKING. Please let me know right away if you're having any technical problems doing this.

GUEST PHOTO ID. For the safety of the property and all other guests, each guest upon signing the agreement is required to provide a complete (no info hidden) copy of their government-issued photo ID.

To guests who value their privacy: no parties will have access to or view their IDs other than me in my one-person, one-location operation, as they are stored in an encrypted server that only I have access to, and no biometric scanning or analysis are ever conducted on any of them.

TWO GUESTS MAXIMUM. The maximum number of Guests allowed to stay in the Patio Cottage is two (2).

ADDITIONAL GUEST(S). The Patio Cottage is open only to the Guest(s) already booked. If you would like an additional person to be added as a Guest during the Rental Period, you are welcome to make a request for this change. If it can be accommodated, the rental rate will be adjusted accordingly, if at all.

CHILDREN. The Patio Cottage is not a suitable rental for children or infants. A child is defined as any person under the age of 18.

VISITORS. For this property to maintain its short-term rental license, it is required by the City to limit the total number of guests and their visitors on the property.

Because of this, visitors of registered guests may possibly be permitted onto the Property ONLY after guests have first checked with me about it. This includes any person(s) you may wish to come visit you or to assist you with checking in or out.

MAIL AND PACKAGES. If Guest wishes to receive mail or packages during their stay, they must have them sent to another address and not to this property.

Guests can legally have mail and packages sent to the local Piedmont Post Office, which is only a few blocks away, at:

[Guest's Name], General Delivery, United Stated Postal Service, 630 NE Killingsworth Street, Portland, Oregon, 97211.

DELIVERIES. For the security, safety, privacy and comfort of all guests, delivery personnel are not at any time permitted past the gates leading to the back or side patios. Deliveries must be made either at the front door of the main house or at the gate to the side patio, where Guest can greet the delivery personnel to receive their items.

PARTIES/EVENTS. The city of Portland does not allow any parties or events hosted by guests.

PETS/ASSISTANCE ANIMALS. Due to health restrictions, the Patio Cottage is unable to accommodate any pets or companion or assistance animals.

NO TOBACCO SMOKERS. The entire property is restricted from smokers of tobacco anywhere at any time, either inside or outside, or at the curbside.

SHOE-FREE AREA. A "Shoe-Free" policy inside the Patio Cottage ensures that the floor and rugs stay squeaky clean for all guests to enjoy. Provided by the door are clean wash-and-wear slippers for you to use, if you'd like.

FIRE SAFETY. For the safety of the property and its inhabitants, the lighting of candles, incense, sage, and any other flammable materials is not allowed on the Property. In the case of emergency, a fire extinguisher is on the kitchen counter.

CANNABIS. Consumption of medical and recreational marijuana (cannabis) is legal in Oregon. If you would like to smoke or vape cannabis, you may do so outside on the patio after first checking with me, in order to ensure that no other guests staying on the property at the time have expressed sensitivity to the scent.

Smoking or vaping of cannabis is not permitted inside the rental.

If you are sensitive to cannabis smoke, please let me know when you book so that I can ensure that other guests will not be smoking it on the property while you are here.

GUEST SATISFACTION/REVIEWS. I am available to make your stay as pleasant and comfortable as possible. If you come across even the tiniest of issues preventing that for you, please let me know right away so that I can resolve it to your complete satisfaction while you're here.

If you're not satisfied with the results, please don't be shy to tell me so that I can definitely resolve it for you.

If you've enjoyed your stay and are pleased with my hosting, your leaving a review will be greatly appreciated.
