A local homeowner makes
his or her residence available for rent - for specific events
or year 'round.
Those planning on visiting
the area browse the listings and directly contact the owner
for availablity and price. If available, the guest then arranges
to rent the property for a designated stay.
The owner sends or emails
the guest a rental agreement which is then returned with any
applicable deposits or payments.
On the designated day, provided payment
has been made, the guest "checks-in" to the homeowner's
property.
After the stay, the guest
leaves the property clean and in the same condition that it
was on "check-in" day.
Provided
there is no damage, the owner returns the deposit with the
agreed upon period of time.
