Your Responsibilities

> Number of Guests
The number of guests staying at the property must not exceed the number stated. Fees and additional charges will apply for excess guests not agreed with the owners in advance. A maximum of 12 people may inhabit Glen Isla at any one time. The beds will be prepared for your arrival. Please ensure linen (pillow cases, top and bottom sheets) is used on all beds slept in and people sleep between the sheets. Additional beds (e.g sleepings bags etc.) are not permitted.

> Parties & Functions
Parties and Functions are strictly prohibited. The price charged is for domestic use only and does not apply to corporate functions. Accordingly this rate does not allow for the extra wear associated with functions in terms of cleaning, garbage removal, wear and tear, repairs etc. Use contrary to this may result in loss of your bond and/or additional payments. NO additional hire equipment (e.g. tables, chairs etc.) is permitted.
> Damages, Breakages, Theft & Loss
Damage, breakages, theft and loss are the tenant's responsibility during their stay. The owners take no responsibility for any damage, breakage, theft or loss of any guest item for the duration of their stay. Postage of misplaced items is payable by the guest. The leasee must advise management of any breakages, faulty items or issues.
> Departure Time
On departure, the property should be left in a similar state to its condition on arrival. Check-out time is 10:00 by the latest, to allow time to prepare property for next guests. A late check-out may be possible but must be arranged prior to your stay.
> Disturbance to Neighbours & Excessive Noise
Disturbance to our neighbours, including excessive noise, is prohibited and may result in termination of rental and loss of bond. The leasee is responsible for all guests and shall ensure no misconduct and/or nuisance, and that noise pollution curfews are adhered to.
Sound equipment: Any sound equipment used in or around the premises, including stereos and televisions must be kept to low volumes, and not encroach upon the continued amenity of nearby residential properties.
Noise pollution curfews: Noise pollution curfews are enforced on all outdoor areas, which include decks, verandahs, and courtyards, and are zoned off limits between 10:30pm - 7:00am to groups of 3 people plus. As an exception, 1 - 2 persons at a time may quietly inhabit the outside areas only between 10:30pm - 7:00am.

This is a possible statutory penalty payable by the guests and is in addition to any loss of bond to the owners. Fines are enforced by the local governing body where breaches of the act take place (e.g. a neighbour complaint or the police are called). Please be mindful of noise and offensive behavior in and around the premises, being respectful of nearby neighbours as Glen Isla is in a residential area.

Additional cars must be parked on the Western side of Falls Rd adjacent to Murray Park (see diagram 2). Obstruction of Mulheran Lane and The Avenue will be reported and the owners fined. Offending cars will be towed and this will result in the loss of your $500 bond.

Fines are applied if guests are in breach of the waste management plan. If guests depart prior to Tuesday morning the Duty Manager will recover the bins.
