Refunds

If you need to cancel your lease, please notify us immediately.  In the event you need to cancel your reservation, Orleans Village Properties will make every effort to re-rent the property for you; however, we can not guarantee re-rental.  If we are successfull in re-renting the property, you will receive a full refund.  If we are unable to re-rent the property we will only refund your security deposit.

The Lease Agreement is a legally binding agreement between the Tenant, Orleans Village Properties, and the Property Owner.  Your reservation and signed Lease Agreement bind you to a specific home for a specific periord of time.  There should be no expectation of refund because you are disappointed with the property in any way.  There will be no refunds for mechanical failure of nonessential items such as air conditioner, TV, dishwasher, washer/dryer, or other luxury items.  Orleans Village Properties will make every effort to rectify any problem that arises during your stay in a timely manner.

Smoking/Pets

All of our rental properties are NON-SMOKING, smoking is not permitted.  If there is evidence that smoking has occurered inside a non-smoking rental property  your security deposit will not be refunded and additional charges for cleaning and ionization may be applied.  WE STRICTLY ENFORCE THIS POLICY.

Our rental properties do not allow pets.  The owner of the property may have had a cat or dog in residence so we make no guarantee for an allergen-free home.
