Hackberry Camps Rental Agreement

Hooked on Hackberry Rental Agreement

This Renter Agreement (“Agreement”) applies to the Guest’s stay at Hooked on Hackberry (“Rental Property”), located at 461 Lake Breeze Rd, Hackberry LA 70645, for the dates stated in the Guest Booking Confirmation but also applies to any other dates which may be included if the reservation is changed.

This Agreement applies to all members of the Guest’s party no matter the age or affiliation.  Guest acknowledges that Guest is responsible for sharing the renter agreement, and its requirements, with all members of the Guest’s party and anyone else permitted onto the Rental Property by the Guest.

In consideration of the rent received and the mutual promises contained herein, Owner of the Rental Property does hereby lease and rent to Guest(s) such Rental Property under the following terms and conditions:

Guest agrees to abide by all rules and regulations contained herein or posted on the premises related to the Rental Property.  Guests obligations include but are not limited to keeping the premises as clean and safe as the conditions of the premises permit and causing no unsafe or unsanitary conditions in the common area and remainder of the premises that Guest uses.  Guests agree not to use the premises for any commercial activities or purpose that violates any criminal law or governmental regulation.  Guest’s breach of any duty contained in this paragraph shall be considered material and shall result in the termination of guest occupancy with no refund of any kind.

In no event shall the Rental Property be occupied by more persons than the capacity of the property as stated on the web site or the confirmation letter, without prior approval by Owner.  No fraternities, school, civic, or other non-family groups are allowed unless Owner grants prior approval.  In no event shall Guests assign or sublet the Rental Property in whole or in part.  Violations of these rules are grounds for expedited eviction with no refund of any kind.  Guests hereby acknowledge and grant specific permission to Owner to enter premises at any time for inspection purposes should Owner reasonably believe that Guests are causing or have caused any damage to Rental Property.  Guest further agrees to grant Owner access to Rental Property for purposes of maintenance and repair. 
In the event Guest wishes to terminate this agreement, Travel Insurance, Damage Protection and any processing or administrative fees are non-refundable. 

The refund policy is as follows:
One hundred percent (100%) of the total booking charges (less $75.00 cancellation fee) will be refunded if the cancellation is made more than 30 days prior to the arrival date of the reservation. Fifty percent (50%) of the total booking charges will be refunded if the cancellation is made more than 14 days prior to the arrival date of the reservation. For cancellations made within 14 days prior to the arrival date, no refund will be issued.

Payment in-full is due at the time of booking.  All policies contained in this Agreement shall apply equally to payments made by credit card, check or cash and whether made via website, by phone or in person. Any refunds due to Guests from a credit card payment will be refunded by credit card transaction; all other refunds will be made within 30 days by check.

A security deposit is required (“Security Deposit”) and will be charged at the time of booking. If, at the end of the rental period, the rental property is returned undamaged beyond normal wear and tear, the Security Deposit will be released in full within five (5) business days. In the event of any damages, Owner will provide Guest with a full accounting of expenses incurred and deductions made from the Security Deposit. Should the damages exceed the amount of the Security Deposit, Guest agrees to pay the balance within five (5) business days after receiving notification. Deductions from Security Deposit may include, but are not limited to: excess cleaning fee, trash removal fee, missing item replacement costs, damaged item replacement or repair costs, repair costs of buildings or grounds, or other service call fees. Owner is under no obligation to use the least expensive means of restoration. Regular payments and security deposits for the booking will be displayed as JRTG Investments LLC on the Guest’s credit card statement.Pets are not allowed in the Rental Property.  Guests must notify the Owner at the time of the reservation of any ADA compliant service animal joining the Guest in the Rental Property.  Service animals may not be left alone in the Rental Property at any time and are subject to normal damage fees.  Any pet(s) found in or about the Rental Property will be grounds for expedited eviction and forfeiture of all monies paid.

We do not rent to anyone under the age of 25. Any reservation obtained under false pretense will be subject to forfeiture of reservation deposit and/or balance of rental payment. Guests must inform the Owner of their intention to bring children and the specific number.  A child is defined as any person under the age of 18.  The condo is not baby proofed.

No refunds will be provided due to inoperable appliances, elevators, or boat lifts etc.  The Owner will make every reasonable effort to assure that such appliances will be and remain in good working order.  No refunds will be given due to power blackouts, water shortage, flooding, snow, construction at adjacent properties, or mandatory evacuations of the area by county or state officials due to hurricanes or other potentially dangerous situations arising from acts of god or nature. Cancellations with refunds of unused nights are issued only in the event of a mandatory evacuation.  Since hurricane season is nationally recognized every year from June to November, it is a great idea to secure travel insurance when travelling to our area during that time.  No decisions will be made on our end unless a major storm warranting an evacuation is imminent, as confirmed by our local government. 

Guests understand that there are no landline telephones in the Rental Property.   It is strongly suggested that Guests bring their own mobile phone to access in case of an emergency.

Guest is responsible for all shipping costs for any Lost and Found items that Owner is requested to return to Guest.  Items found and not claimed within 30 days will be disposed of at the discretion of Owner.

Linens, towels and bedding will be provided for the Guest during the stay at the Rental Property.  Guest is responsible for lost or damaged items at the cost of two (2) times the standard rental price for such damaged or lost linens, bedding and towels.

In the event Owner is unable to make Rental Property available for any reason other than described above or a reasonable substitute as determined by Owner, Guest agrees that Owner’s sole liability as a result of this unavailability is to provide a full refund of all monies paid under this Agreement. Guest expressly acknowledges that in no event shall Owner be held liable for any special or consequential damages which result from this unavailability.

Guest agrees to indemnify Owner from and against liability for injury to Guest or any other person occupying Rental Property resulting from any cause whatsoever including, but not limited to, injury sustained as a result of use of the patio, grill, stairs, appliances, boat lift etc. except only such a personal injury caused by the gross negligence or intentional acts of the Owner.

Owner may terminate this Agreement upon the breach of any of the terms hereof by Guest.  Guest shall not be entitled to the return of any rental monies paid under the terms of this Agreement and shall vacate the Property immediately.

Agreement shall be enforced under the laws of the state within which the Rental Property is located, including any applicable rental acts of that state, and represents the entire Agreement.  Any amendments must be in writing and signed by both parties.  In the event of a dispute, legal action may only be instituted in the county within which the Rental Property is located.  If any part of this Agreement shall be deemed unenforceable by law, that part shall be omitted from this Agreement without affecting the remaining Agreement.  Owner shall conduct all brokerage activities in regard to this Agreement without respect to the race, color, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, handicap, or familial status of any Guest.

The Rental Property may offer access to recreational and water activities, including but not limited to kayaks, boating, and swimming.  Guest fully understands and acknowledges that outdoor recreational and water activities have inherent risks, dangers and hazards.  Participation in such activities may result in injury or illness including, but not limited to bodily injury, disease, strains, fractures, partial and/or total paralysis, death or other ailments that could cause serious disability.  Guest agrees to fully indemnify and hold harmless the Owner and any and all agents, employees, or contractors for any injury or damage caused by these activities, whether caused by the negligence of the Owners, the negligence of the participants, the negligence of others, accidents, breaches of contract, the forces of nature or other causes foreseeable or unforeseeable.  Guest hereby assume all risks and dangers and all responsibility for any losses and/or damages, whether caused in whole or in part by the negligence or other conduct of the Owners or by any other person.  Guest hereby voluntarily agree to release, waive, discharge, hold harmless, defend and indemnify Owner and any and all agents, employees, or contractors from any and all claims, actions or losses for bodily injury, property damage, wrongful death, loss of services or otherwise which may arise out of my use of Rental Property facilities or activities.  Guest further assumes full responsibility for the actions of any and all persons whom he may allow to enter the property during the rental period and indemnifies Owner from any and all claims arising from such other persons.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements and covenants herein contained, Guest has read and agreed to the following:
