We are not able to burn anything in it. PAYMENT DETAILS: *Homestay will collect 25% up front of your total stay. This confirms your booking and holds the room for you. This $ goes directly towards your rent. As per the Homestay policy, if you cancel more than 7 days before your arrival, the 25% deposit is refundable. Because of this cancellation policy, I require a security deposit to secure the reservation. The Homestay cancellation policy does not provide sufficient protection to the host. Since the Homestay payment is fully refundable with short notice, a cancellation—even just over a week before the start date—could leave the host with an unexpected vacancy and little time to find a replacement tenant. Without a firm, non-refundable commitment earlier on, the financial risk and loss of rental income fall entirely on the host. *All bookings are subject to a Refundable Security Deposit that is 50% of one month's rent. If you cancel your reservation less than 30 days before your arrival, this deposit will NOT BE refunded. This deposit must be sent via an electronic transfer within 72 hours of booking your stay and is in addition to the Homestay deposit. *This deposit IS refundable at the end of your stay, IF you have paid all of your rent, given one full calendar month's notice to move out, left everything in clean and good condition, and have not damaged anything. * When you arrive, you will pay the balance of the first month's rent (if any owing) and then will pay rent for each month on the first day of each month. Here is an example: You book for four months, starting on July 1 and rent is $1,100. Total Rent will be $4,400 ($1,100 x 4 months = $4,400). The Security Deposit will be $550 (1/2 of $1,100). This must be sent via electronic transfer within 72 hours of booking. In addition, Homestay will charge you 25% of $4,400 when you book your room. This will be $1,100. This $1,100 will go towards rent. *One the first day of each month after that, you will need to pay $1,100 rent. *At the end of your stay, after you have checked out, you will be refunded the $550 security deposit, if you have left everything in good order and have paid all of your rent.
