A ring doorbell has been installed at the front door and is active and recording audio and video at all times. Tampering with the doorbell will result in immediate removal from the property.

Compliance with Local Ordinances:
The agreement references specific city ordinances (No. 1809 and No. 2016-1220) that outline seven reasons for removing guests from the property, all of which are stated within the agreement. These reasons include illegal possession of controlled substances, disruptive behavior, illegal possession of alcohol, disturbing neighbors, misconduct causing property damage, exceeding maximum occupancy (yes, that includes guests' visitors or those "stopping by"), and failure to check out on time. Violating these ordinances or house rules may result in a loss of security deposit and/or immediate removal from the property without refund.

It's crucial for guests to read and understand these rules and regulations before booking and staying on the property to ensure a smooth and trouble-free experience while respecting the property owner's requirements and local ordinances.
