This Vacation Rental Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and effective (“Effective Date”) by and between Revana Realty ( “Manager”) and (collectively “Guest”), individually and collectively referred to as the “Party” or “Parties.”

Manager of hereby rents to Guest the residential property located at the following address: (the “Premises”).
The rental term of this Agreement (the “Rental Term”) will commence the Check-In Date and will continue until the Check-Out Date, as provided herein. The Check-In time shall not be earlier than on the Check-In Date, and Guest shall vacate the Premises on or before on the Check-Out Date. Upon the Check-Out Date, Guest shall be required to vacate the Premises, unless one of the following circumstances occur: (i) Manager and Guest formally extend this Agreement in a signed writing or execute a new, written, and signed Agreement; or (ii) Manager willingly accepts new consideration, i.e., rent, from Guest, which does not constitute past due rent.

Guest shall pay to Manager, the sum of Dollars as rent (the “Rent”) for the entire Rental Term of the Agreement. Rent shall be paid in two installments: 50% due concurrently with the execution of this Agreement (the “Non-Refundable Deposit”); and the remaining 50% (the “Balance”) due not less than 30 days prior to the Check-In Date. The Non-Refundable Deposit is deemed to be earned upon receipt and non-refundable. If this Agreement is canceled by Guest in writing prior to the date the Balance is due, Guest shall forfeit the Non-Refundable Deposit but shall be released from the remaining Balance due. If Guest cancels this Agreement after the date the Balance is due, the entire Rent will be deemed earned and Manager will retain the entire Rent as liquidated and agreed upon damages. If Guest fails to pay the Balance on or before the date it is due, Manager may terminate this Agreement and retain the Non-Refundable Deposit as liquidated and agreed upon damages.
COVID-19 and its consequences are no longer unforeseen or unexpected after the declaration of COVID-19 as a global pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is no longer an unforeseen circumstance that merits a reservation cancelation resulting in a refund or reschedule.
COVID-19 related circumstances include: transportation disruptions and cancellations; travel advisories and restrictions; health advisories and quarantines; changes to applicable law; and other government mandates—like evacuation orders, border closures, and shelter-in-place requirements. The standard cancellation policy will apply as usual.

The Manager shall have all rights and remedies available to the collective Guest and each individual Guest.

Manager is not responsible for the failure of any amenity; however, Manager will promptly make all reasonable efforts to correct any issues reported by Guest.
Guest acknowledges that use of Amenities may be potentially dangerous and involve certain risks if improperly used — specifically with regard to children — such use is at the Guest’s own risk. Guest certifies that children’s use and access to all amenities will be supervised by an adult at all times. During the Rental Term Guest agrees to cover the spa and close pool gates — as applicable — at all times when the spas or pools, respectively, are not in use. Arizona law requires children five years old and younger may only occupy a home with a pool if the pool is separately fenced away from home with a self-latching gate. This Premises does not meet the Arizona Pool Barrier requirements for children five and under. The Guest understands that they have been advised of A.R.S 33-1681 and accepts the risk of the pool and spa and holds Owner, Manager and its agents harmless and hereby waives any and all claims against Owner and Manager of Premises, as to the use of the pool and spa.

The Pool Heat Fee is billed on a per-night basis with a four (4) night minimum and must be billed for the entirety of the reservation. The pool will be heated to eighty-four (84) degrees by the time of Guest check-in.

OWNER AND MANAGER ARE SPECIFICALLY NOT LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES OF GUEST’S USE OR ACTIONS TAKEN ON THE PREMISES, EXCEPT FOR THEIR GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILFUL MISCONDUCT. IF THE FOREGOING LIMITATION IS HELD TO BE UNENFORCEABLE, MANAGER AND OWNER’S MAXIMUM LIABILITY TO GUEST WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF ALL RENT PAID BY GUEST DURING THE USE OF THE PREMISES. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITS ON INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THESE LIMITS MAY NOT APPLY TO GUEST.

Guest will indemnify Manager against all liabilities and damages sustained by Manager by reason of such holdover. If Guest remains in possession of the Premises past the Check-Out Date upon the consent of Manager, the Rental Term will be extended only for the number of days agreed to in a signed writing by Manager.
Upon the expiration of the Rental Term, Guest will surrender the Premises in as good a condition as it was at the Check-In Date of this Agreement.
