ADVANCED RESERVATIONS - "EXPLAINED "
Our software works in the "present time", so when you rent a unit
in advance it charges out your card now to hold your unit.
This is most often the case for students since full pre pay is required.
However, it is understood that the payment will be applied to the future
reservation period.* I will send you an email within approx. 24hrs.
directing you to visit your account and review updated "paid to date".
Reservations / Rentals are non-prorated and non-refundable.
* Example: applied to May-Aug (4mos) or study abroad term (9mos)
of May-Jan or Dec-Aug. Questions, please call me.

upon move out.
