House rules language
Occupancy & Party Policy
This home sleeps up to 8 guests at standard nightly rates. Any gathering, event, or additional visitors beyond registered overnight guests — regardless of stated purpose — is considered an event and requires prior approval and event pricing ($1,000–$1,500/night).
Booking as a standard stay while hosting a party, gathering exceeding 8 total people, or unregistered visitors is a material violation of these terms. Violations result in:
• Immediate charge of the event-rate difference to the card on file
• Immediate termination of stay without refund
• Reporting to platform Trust & Safety
By booking, you confirm the actual headcount and purpose of your stay. “I didn’t read the rules” does not waive these terms — acknowledgment is required at booking (see below).
