CITY TAX: Per the City of Palm Springs, all short-term vacation rentals are responsible for collecting an ADDITIONAL city occupancy tax (TOT) of 11.5% per rental + 1% (new TBID tax as of July 2021). The tax goes to the City and will be calculated by AirBnB when finalizing the reservation.

NOISE: This is not a party house. There is a strict city ordinance related to noise:
- no amplified music can be heard at ANY TIME at the property limit,
- no noise at all outside after 10pm (pool/spa can be used in silence)

A call from the neighbors to the City will bring the Vacation Rental Compliance Officers to your door. They may issue you a citation if you exceed the allowed noise levels or if another violation is observed.

MAXIMUM OCCUPANCY: Per city ordinance, maximum of 3 cars and 6 overnight guests. 4 additional day-time guests

AIR CONDITIONING: Electricity is very expensive in Palm Springs. During the hot season, please do not set the Air Conditioning below 70°F and close the doors at all times during the day.

OPTIONAL POOL HEATING: Heating the pool for your visit is optional, and is an additional $60 per day, or $80/day in December and January. Please let me know at least 48 hours in advance if you would like to choose this option. Heating is typically not needed from June to October. Note that there is an additional thermal system in place on the roof that increases the water temperature by ~10°F depending on the sun (free of charge, included in your rental).

HOUSE MAINTENANCE:
- Pool maintenance: Wednesdays and Saturdays (sometimes Fridays)
- Garden maintenance: usually on Thursdays

SECURITY DEPOSIT: The amount returned is conditional upon all terms of the rental agreement being met (examples: violations of the non smoking policy, maximum occupancy limits, abusing air conditioning, no party policy...). Tenants are liable for all replacements and repairs that are outside what is considered normal wear and tear and will be taken from their deposit.

CHECK-IN
Check-ins on Sundays may not always be possible. Please ask in advance.

MONTHLY
For 1+ month rentals, guests are responsible for the electric and gas bills (water and internet still included).
