Chesapeake Bay Rentals

RULES OF THE HOUSE

1. The house sleeps 8 people only. Our septic system will not allow for any more than this number. There can be no parties at our house that exceed this number. Violation of this rule will result in automatic termination of the lease and will require you to leave the premises immediately and without a refund. Our neighbors get extremely upset if this rule is violated and we would appreciate your consideration regarding this issue.

2. If you are bringing a dog(s), please remember to sweep after your stay so that my housekeeper does not have to clean up dog hair. Always pick up after your dog. Dog(s) are not allowed on the furniture/beds. Further, never leave your dog(s) out on the deck while you are gone from the house. We experienced problems with tenants who brought their dogs, which is why we are addressing these issues. Your dogs must be on a leach at all times when outside of the home. Under no circumstance, can you bring a cat. There are simply too many people who have severe allergies to cats and it could actually be life threatening to the next tenant. We accept dogs but no cats please because too many people are allergic to cats. This rule must be strictly adhered to or we will request that you leave.
(See Pet Rules)

3. This is a smoke free home. Please step outside the home if you plan to smoke.

4. Please be sure not to put hot dishes/pots/pans on our granite, as it will crack. In cleaning the granite, please just use hot, soapy water, not Windex, as it will take off the finish.
