any problems to us as soon as you check in, or as soon as they occur.

period originally rented. If not, no refund will be made.

and for thoroughly cleaning the home prior to departing. We do provide
housekeeping service for a fee, and you may arrange for this service
through our office. Our housekeeping contract requires you do certain
things, so please be sure you understand your obligations. Payment to
us to do housekeeping does not mean you can abuse the house.

Rental cribs and highchairs are to be left in the house for us to pick
up.
- Lock all doors and windows, cut all interior and exterior lights

PLEASE MAKE THIS A PRIMARY CONSIDERATION IN YOUR SELECTION PROCESS.
VACATION RENTAL
ACT (NC GENERAL STATUTES SECTION 42A-1)
This is a vacation rental agreement under the NC Vacation Rental Act (VRA).
Rights and obligations of the parties to this rental agreement are defined
by law and include unique provisions permitting disbursement of rent prior
to tenancy and expedited eviction of tenants. Your signature on this rental
agreement, payment of money, or taking possession of the property after
receipt of this agreement is evidence of your acceptance of this agreement,
and of your intent to use this property for a vacation rental.
The Odom Co. is a
management firm that, on behalf of the owner of the property and as a
representative of the interests of the owner, rents the property subject
to the provisions of this rental agreement. Rent monies are held in an
interest-bearing trust account at Centura Bank, Calabash, NC, with accrued
interest being the property of The Odom Co. Funds (to include advance
rent, sales/accommodations/other taxes) are subject to disbursement from
this account at commencement of tenancy, material breach of the agreement
by the tenant, or monies that may be refunded to the tenant.
If Local or State
authorities order mandatory evacuation of the island of Sunset Beach (such
as hurricane evacuation), and the tenant complies with the order, The
Odom Co. will refund prorated rent for each night of the evacuation order.
The VRA provides for
expedited eviction of tenants of less than 31 days in the event a tenant
fails to pay rent as required by this rental agreement, obtains possession
of the property by fraud or misrepresentation, holds over after expiration
of tenancy, or commits a material breach of the rental agreement that
results in the termination of tenancy.
This rental agreement
is a legally-binding agreement, and in the event of dispute, will be interpreted
in accordance with NC law, and legal action may be instituted only in
the county in which the property is located. The management company and
owner of the home are indemnified and held harmless against any liability
for personal injury or property damage sustained by any person, including
guests of the tenant, as a result of any cause, unless by negligent acts
of the management company or owner of the home. Representatives of the
management company have the right to enter premises during tenancy to
do needed or preventative maintenance.
The lease and the
current Odom Co. Rental Brochure comprise the total rental agreement.
