Your Responsibilities

To maintain a good standard for our guests we require certain conditions to be complied with. We appreciate most will respect our property but occasional abuse requires that we state the following conditions:

> 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.

> Visitors

We understand that from time to time you may like to invite people not staying at the house to attend the house. However, at no time should the number of people on the property exceed a maximum of 15 people (including guests staying at the house).

> 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. Under Council regulation, further restrictions on music and amplified sound outlined below, are to be followed.

An on-the spot fine of up to $200 may be payable and a fine of up to $5500 is liable under the Environmental Planning Assessment Act 1979 for each instance where the guest/s breach this condition. 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.

> Bond

Bond security is taken by way of a credit card over the phone. Alternatively, bond is payable by direct deposit of $500 to the owners’ bank account. It is designed to cover any additional costs incurred including but not limited to, any breakage, damage or excess cleaning requirements, extra guests, or breach of condition related to but not limited to noise, parking etc. Additional costs in excess of the bond will be charged to the leasee's credit card. The bond will be returned after the stay providing all terms and conditions have been met.

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.

Please read the Emergency and Evacuation Plan for Glen Isla. This is located in the guest folder. Glen Isla is located in an inherently fire-prone location. The tenant and their guests agree that they will follow all directions given by Management and/or local fire and emergency services in the event of a fire emergency.

Guests are required to place all rubbish inside the bins provided and at no time leave rubbish outside the bins. If the garbage facilities are full, guests are required to take all surplus rubbish with them. Garbage collection is early Tuesday morning and guests who inhabit Glen Isla on the Monday night are responsible to place the bins on the street at The Avenue for collection and bring the bins off the street on Tuesday morning after collection. 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.

Smoking is not permitted inside Glen Isla. If you choose to smoke please do so outdoors and dispose of cigarette butts in the bin (hese pose a fire risk when thrown in the garden).

All windows and doors must be locked on exiting the property, and the key returned as per instructions. That all lights, air conditioning, heaters, wood fire, towel warmers and televisions must be turned OFF or EXTINGUISHED on departure.
