SHORT-TERM RENTAL AGREEMENT ("Agreement") between Vertex Services LP dba VVS Property Management / BnB OKC ("Manager," acting for the property owner) and [guest name] ("Guest"), effective on the date of Guest's electronic signature below.
Property: [property name], [property address], Oklahoma City metro, OK ("Property") Stay: Check-in [arrival date] after [checkin time] · Checkout [departure date] by [checkout time] Rental Party: [adults] adults, [children] children (max occupancy [max occupancy]) Rate summary: [rate table] · Total: [total amount] · Due: [payment schedule] (Payment is due in full at booking. Where check-in is 30 or more days away, Guest may instead pay 50% at booking and the remaining 50% no later than 30 days before check-in. The total is the same either way. Stays of 30 or more nights, and insurance/ALE placements, are instead billed monthly, as set out in Section 17.)
1. License to Occupy — Not a Lease
This Agreement grants a revocable license to occupy the Property for transient lodging. It is not a lease; no tenancy, periodic or otherwise, is created or intended, and Guest gains no property interest. When the license ends (by expiration, cancellation, or termination for breach), Guest and all occupants must vacate immediately. Holdover occupancy is charged at 150% of the nightly rate plus Manager's removal costs. (For stays of 30+ nights, the Mid-Term Stay Addendum in Section 17 also applies.)
2. Rental Party, Occupancy & Visitors
Only persons listed on the reservation may stay overnight ([rental party names]). Occupancy above the stated maximum, or any unregistered overnight guest, incurs [overage fee] per person per night and is grounds for immediate termination without refund. Daytime visitors are limited to [visitor cap] at any time; visitors may not use pools or hot tubs unless a registered adult guest is present.
3. Minimum Age & Identity
The booking Guest must be at least 25 years old, must be present for the entire stay, and consents to reasonable identity verification (government ID matching the reservation name and payment card). Misrepresentation of identity, age, or party size voids the reservation with no refund.
4. No Parties, No Events, Quiet Hours
No parties or events. Gatherings beyond registered occupancy require Manager's prior written approval. Quiet hours are 10:00 PM to 8:00 AM — our homes sit in residential neighborhoods and noise complaints or city citations are grounds for immediate termination without refund, plus any fines incurred.
5. House Rules (per-Home Schedule)
Guest agrees to the attached House Rules Schedule for [property name] — including no smoking or vaping indoors (violation: [smoking fee] remediation fee), trash/recycling days, parking limits ([parking spaces] vehicles; no trailers/RVs without approval), HOA rules where applicable, and appliance/amenity instructions.
6. Pets & Service Animals
Dogs are welcome at every BnB OKC home: up to 2 dogs, for a one-time $150 pet fee per stay (dogs only, no other animals), disclosed at booking. Undisclosed dogs incur the fee plus remediation costs. Service animals as defined by federal law are welcome at all homes with no fee (documentation may not be required by law; Guest remains responsible for any damage caused).
7. Pools, Hot Tubs & Water Features — Assumption of Risk
Several BnB OKC homes include a pool, hot tub, pond, or lake access. There is no lifeguard. Guest accepts full responsibility for the Rental Party's and visitors' use: children must be actively supervised by an adult at all times near any water; no glass in pool/hot-tub areas; hot-tub use is discouraged for pregnant guests and persons with heart conditions; pool/pond/ lake use is at each person's own risk. Guest initials this section separately: `____`
8. Payment, Deposits & Chargebacks
Rates, fees, and taxes are itemized above; nothing is charged beyond that itemization except amounts authorized by this Agreement (occupancy overages, pet/smoking fees, damages, holdover rent). Guest authorizes the payment card on file for such amounts, capped at [incidental cap], and Manager will provide photographic/receipt documentation of any post-checkout charge. Guest agrees this signed Agreement is evidence of authorization and agrees to contact Manager at (405) 295-5052 to resolve any billing question before initiating a card dispute. Security deposit. A Guest who pays by Zelle, Cash App or Venmo pays a $300 refundable security deposit at booking, in addition to the rental total. It is returned within 14 days of checkout, less documented deductions for damage, occupancy overages, pet or smoking fees, or holdover rent, with the documentation described above. For a Guest who pays by card, the card used at booking serves the same purpose, under the cap above.
9. Cancellation
If Guest cancels 30 or more days before arrival, Guest receives a full refund of amounts paid. If Guest cancels 14 to 29 days before arrival, Guest receives a 50% refund of the total. If Guest cancels fewer than 14 days before arrival, no refund is due. Insurance/ALE placements follow the Addendum. If Manager must cancel (casualty, sale, uninhabitability), Guest receives a full refund or, at Guest's option, comparable relocation within the BnB OKC collection — Manager's total liability is limited to amounts paid.
10. Condition, Cleaning & Maintenance
The Property is provided clean and functional; report any deficiency within 24 hours of check-in. A cleaning fee of [cleaning fee] covers normal turnover — excessive mess, biohazard, or smoke remediation is charged at cost. Manager cannot guarantee against mechanical failure (HVAC, wifi, appliances, pool equipment) but will repair promptly; no refunds for temporary outages repaired with reasonable diligence. Guest must allow entry for repairs with 24-hour notice, or without notice in an emergency.
11. Security Devices Disclosure
Exterior security cameras (doorbell/driveway) and outdoor-decibel noise monitors operate at the Property. No cameras exist or will operate inside the home or in any private area. Tampering with or disconnecting safety or monitoring devices is a material breach.
12. Prohibited Conduct
No illegal activity of any kind; no commercial filming without written approval; no re-listing, subletting, or assignment of this Agreement or the Property (including on Airbnb, VRBO, or similar platforms); no re-keying or adding locks; no firearms left unsecured; no charging of electric vehicles from standard household outlets without approval.
13. Assumption of Risk, Liability & Indemnity
Guest and the Rental Party use the Property and its amenities at their own risk. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Manager and the owner are not liable for personal injury, illness, or loss/damage to personal property, and total liability arising from this Agreement will not exceed the amounts Guest paid. Guest indemnifies Manager and the owner against claims arising from the Rental Party's or visitors' use of the Property or breach of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited (including gross negligence or willful misconduct).
14. Weather & Force Majeure
If state or local authorities issue a mandatory evacuation order covering the Property, Guest receives a prorated refund for nights not occupied. Otherwise no weather refunds. Neither party is liable for failure to perform due to events beyond reasonable control.
15. Termination for Breach
Material breach (occupancy, parties, smoking, pets, noise citations, illegal activity, tampering with monitoring/safety devices) allows Manager to terminate the license and require the Rental Party to vacate immediately; amounts paid are forfeited to the extent permitted by law, and Guest remains liable for damages exceeding them.
16. Governing Law & Disputes
Oklahoma law governs; venue lies in Oklahoma County, Oklahoma. The parties will first attempt good-faith mediation; unresolved disputes go to binding arbitration under AAA consumer rules, except either party may use small-claims court for qualifying claims. Both parties waive jury trial and class participation to the extent permitted by law. The prevailing party recovers reasonable attorney fees and costs.
17. Mid-Term Stay Addendum (Applies Automatically to Stays of 30+ Nights)
(a) The stay remains transient lodging under a license; Guest maintains a permanent residence elsewhere and this Property is not Guest's domicile. (b) The rate includes utilities up to [utility allowance]/month; overages are billed at cost. (c) Housekeeping/inspection visits occur every [inspection interval] weeks with notice. (d) Extensions require written approval and current payment. (e) Stays of 30 or more nights are billed monthly, each month's rent due before that month of the stay begins. (f) Insurance/ALE placements: where a carrier, TPA, or housing company (e.g., Alacrity Solutions) is billed directly, Guest remains personally responsible for any amounts the payor does not pay within 15 days of invoice, and for all conduct obligations in this Agreement; if payor authorization ends, the stay converts to Guest-paid with 7 days' written notice or ends at the current paid-through date.
18. Electronic Signature Consent
The parties consent to conduct this transaction electronically under the federal ESIGN Act and Oklahoma's Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. Guest's electronic signature (typed, clicked, or drawn, with logged name, timestamp, and IP address) has the same force as an original ink signature, and Guest may request a paper copy at any time.
19. Miscellaneous
Notices go to the email/phone on the reservation and to Manager at stay@bnbokc.com / (405) 295-5052 / 1416 S Agnew Ave, Oklahoma City, OK 73108. This Agreement (with its schedules and addenda) is the entire agreement, amendable only in writing; no waiver except in writing; if any provision is unenforceable the remainder stands; Sections 1, 8, 13, 15, and 16 survive checkout. Manager's OKC home-sharing license (where applicable): [home sharing license].
