Prior to check-in we will provide you with the key code to get into the front exterior pedestrian gate. Please note that the gate will automatically close after 15 seconds after the code has been entered.

Only one car is permitted to park directly behind the gate in front of the garage to allow other guests to park, as well. If you have more than one vehicle, there is plenty of street parking in front of the property. 

Please be mindful of the street sweeping times which are;

• Wednesdays from 12pm to 2pm on the property side of the street 
• Thursdays from 12pm to 2pm on the opposite side of the street

Key Code:

Your key code to the unit will be provided prior to your stay and will become active from 3:00pm on the day of your check-in and will be deactivated on 11:00am the day of check-out (unless otherwise agreed upon).

Quiet Hours:

The property has strict quiet hours from 10:00pm to 8:00am. If you are found making excessive noise, you will incur a large fee as per the house rules. If you’re staying in Urban Oasis or Luxe Life (two upstairs units), please be mindful of guests staying below you as their bedroom is located under the kitchen and dining areas. Excessive walking and moving of furniture in these areas tends to be fairly loud for the guests below. It is best to move upstairs into the upper living area or into the game room area after 10:00pm as to not disturb the guests below you.

This Lease Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered on (the “Effective Date”) by and between Zerik Scales (the “Landlord”) and (the “Tenant(s)”).

2. Term: This Agreement will begin on the day of check-in (the “Start Date”) and will terminate on the day of check-out (the “Termination Date”) with the potential to extend longer with proper notice from the Tenant.
   Tenant will vacate the Property upon termination of the Agreement, unless: (i) Landlord and Tenant have extended this Agreement in writing or signed a new agreement; (ii) mandated by local rent control law; or (iii) Landlord accepts Rent from Tenant (other than past due Rent), in which case a month-to-month tenancy will be created which either party may terminate by Tenant giving Landlord written notice of at least 30 days prior to the desired termination date, or by Landlord giving Tenant written notice as provided by law. Rent will be at a rate agreed to by Landlord and Tenant, or as allowed by law. All other terms and conditions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.

   Email: zerik.scales@gmail.com

4. Rent: Tenant will pay to Landlord rent in the agreed upon amount (the “Rent”), payable upon booking and/or in full one week prior to check-in, and at the beginning of each new monthly rental period. Payment is considered delinquent on the next day. If that day falls on a weekend or legal holiday, the rent is due on the next business day.Payments should be sent to:Payment address: 4922 West Blvd, View Park, California 90043, or at such other place as the Landlord may designate from time to time.

   Payments can be made by using one of the following methods of payment:

   Other Acceptable forms of payment:- Money order
   – Cashier’s check
   – Direct deposit
   – direct bank transfer, Venmo, Apple Pay (will provide information if needed)

   Tenant agrees to submit rent payments by one of the methods above. No cash payments will be accepted. In the event of roommates, or another form of joint or multiple occupancy, Tenant will be responsible for collecting payment from all parties and submitting a single payment to the Landlord. Tenant is responsible for any payment made by mail and not received by the due date stated herein. Mailed payments must be received on or before the due date. Rent payments for any partial month will be pro-rated at the rate of 1/30th of the monthly rent payment per day.

   Landlord may apply any payment made by Tenant to any obligation owed by Tenant to Landlord regardless of any dates or directions that accompany a payment. The Landlord has full discretion to accept or reject payments from or written by third parties. Landlord’s acceptance of a payment by a third party does not override the previous statement and Landlord will continue to have full discretion to accept or reject payments submitted or written by third parties. Monthly rent payments received in prior months to which the payment is due will be held by the Landlord uncashed in a secured location and deposited on the first of the month.

5. Security Deposit. At the time of signing this Agreement, the tenant must deposit with the Landlord the agreed upon security deposit (the “Security Deposit”), receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, as security for any damage caused to the Property during the term thereof. The maximum amount that Landlord may receive as the Security Deposit cannot exceed two (2) months rent if the Property is unfurnished or three (3) months rent if the Property is furnished. Tenants expressly may not use the Security Deposit in lieu of payment of rent. All or any portion of the Security Deposit may be used to: (i) repair damage, excluding ordinary wear and tear, caused by Tenant and/or by a guest of the Tenant; (ii) clean Property, if necessary, upon termination of tenancy; (iii) replace Landlord’s personal property or appurtenances; and (iv) cure Tenant’s default in payment of rent, or other sums due.
   In compliance with Cal. Civ. Code § 1950.5, the Security Deposit will be returned to Tenant, without interest, and less any set off for damages to the Property within 21 days of the date of termination of this Agreement, or the Tenant’s last day of occupancy, whichever occurs later. Landlord will provide Tenant with an itemized statement indicating the amount of the Security Deposit and the basis for any and all applicable damages. The Landlord must include documents showing charges incurred: (i) if owner or owner’s employee performs work, the owner must specify the hours required and hourly rate; and (ii) if 3rd party performs the work, Landlord will provide invoices, bills or receipts from the 3rd party. No interest will be paid on the Security Deposit unless required by local ordinance.

6. Late Payments: Tenant and Landlord agree that Landlord will sustain costs and damages as a result of any late payment of rent but that it will be extremely difficult to determine with specificity the actual amount of that damage. Therefore, Tenant agrees to pay a service charge of $250.00 for the handling of late rent payments received by the Landlord 3 days after the due date. The parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs and damages that Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by the Tenant.
   The late charge period is not a grace period and Landlord is entitled to make a written demand for any unpaid rent on the next day after the due date. Payment of the late charge does not cure the late payment for purposes of establishing habitual late payment of rent. Landlord and Tenant agree that five (5) late payments in any 12 month period will constitute habitual late payment of rent and may be considered a just cause for eviction.

7. Failure to Pay: Pursuant to California Civil Code §§ 1785.26, Tenant is hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on Tenants’ credit history may be submitted to a credit reporting agency if Tenant fails to fulfill the terms of their credit obligations, such as their financial obligations under the terms of this Agreement.

9. Possession: Tenant will be entitled to possession of the Property on the first day of the term of this Agreement, and will yield possession to the Landlord on the last day of the term of this Agreement, unless otherwise agreed by both parties in writing.

In such cases, the Landlord may require Tenants obtain liability insurance for the benefit of Landlord.
