HOLDING OVER: Because of the nature of Manager's business (short term recreational rentals) Guest understands, and is hereby put on notice that any unauthorized "holding over" of the property past the stated rental period could severely jeopardize Managers business and cause loss of rental income from other previously booked guests, temporary and/or permanent loss of business, goodwill and reputation and, among other things, could force Manager to breach an agreement with similar short term summer and winter recreational Guest(s) who may have reservations during Guest`s unauthorized "holding over" period. In the event, Manager may be legally liable in damages to said other guests. Guests should be aware that unauthorized "holding over" has been construed as a factor in establishing "malicious continuing occupation" of rental property, which may entitle Manager to treble damages in any unlawful detained action. Guest also recognizes the unauthorized "holding over" could be grounds in court as a cause of action for intentionally interfering with Manager’s prospective business advantage. In addition, we will charge $100.00 an hour past 10:30 a.m. on day of check out. RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES: It is specifically agreed and understood that the relationship between the parties herein shall be deemed to be of proprietor and lodger or Guest as opposed to a relationship of landlord/tenant.
