- When do you start renting summer cottages?
Answer: Each January we reserve rentals for the previous tenants
who desire the same property for the identical weeks of their
previous rental. Beginning in mid-February our general renting
begins on a first come first serve basis.
- When do we pay for the rental?
Answer: Weekly rentals are paid in advance. 50% due upon making
the reservation and 50% thirty days prior to occupancy with the
required security deposit (damage deposit). Annual or Academic
rentals are usually paid in accordance with a long term lease
monthly.
- What is your cancellation policy?
Answer: CANCELLATION. Upon notice to Shore & Country Real
Estate in writing of a desire to cancel for any reason, mailed
together with a copy of your Reservation Agreement, Shore &
Country Real Estate will attempt to re-rent the premises. Provided
the premises can be re-rented for the time period, the deposit
will be refunded less a service fee of 15% of the total rental.
In the event the property is not re-rented, the deposit will be
forfeited and the Lessee remains obligated under the lease.
- Am I limited to the number of occupants in this property?
Answer: Yes. All furnished properties in this area require this
limitation . Your lease specifies the maximum occupants "for
any one time". There are no public sewers and they are supplied
by private wells directly or indirectly through community water
systems. With regard to public health, water conservation is a
concern of property owners and tenants alike.

if the following week is available and you are the current occupant,

- Why do rental prices rise each year?
Answer: Each property owners generally sets the price of their
rental homes individually according to a perception of operating
and maintenance costs and continued demand for their property.
We have never seen a year when rental prices remained the same.

Answer: Most owners and tenants plans change. We choose to maximize
our business economies of time, effort, and dollars by renting
when most of our clients wish to conduct business.

to occupy with pets. Check the listing information before you

CLEAN AND SATISFACTORY CONDITION for the following tenant, and
not to sub-let or loan any of the property without the approval

through an entrance guard post. You will be asked by the guard
person where you are going. Tell the guard which property you

to tenants for small returnable deposit.
