CHECK IN:

Check-out time must be met to allow cleaning to be completed for the next guest(s).

This provision shall not be construed to permit the Tenant to stay an additional night or stay beyond the check- out time.
LATE ARRIVALS/EMERGENCY ISSUES:
Guests arriving after hours should call our office prior to arrival so that arrangements can be made to leave your keys and directions to the property in the outside key drop box. In the event of an after- hours emergency please call 575-937-3415. Please remember this line is for emergencies only and will be responded to as soon as possible.
There will be a minimum charge of $50.00 for after hour’s lock-out or non-emergency service.
All linens are provided by Destiny Luxury Rental, and are included in the reservation cost. Agent and owner can assume no responsibility for any articles left on the premises by tenant. Any items requesting to be returned are subject to all shipping costs paid by the guest or a $25.00 service fee, whichever is greater.
Only homes that are designated “pet friendly” will allow pets. Otherwise, pets are not permitted in the rental property or on the premises. No exceptions will be made. Pets that weigh more than 25 pounds must be disclosed at time of booking and are subject to owner approval. A non-refundable pet fee, with a limit of two pets per rental property, will be charged at time of booking. Pet fee is $50 per pet due at time of booking. Guests must have pet occupancy approved at the time of reservation or prior to arrival. If evidence of pets is found on the property without prior approval, the non-refundable pet fee will be charged to the credit card on file without notice, and the Refundable Damage Deposit will be forfeit.

Your unit will be thoroughly cleaned before your arrival. If you are not satisfied with the condition upon check-in, please contact our office immediately and DLR will dispatch a housekeeping representative. If you are a late arrival, please notify us by the following morning. If you have not called within 24 hours of your arrival, we will assume you found your unit in acceptable condition. We would ask that you leave your property in the order that you found it; this includes, but is not limited to, the placement of interior and exterior furniture. Please insure that no dirty dishes are left in the sink, dishwasher, and after cleaning are returned to the cabinets. Linens: An initial linen supply (one set of towels including one bath towel, one hand towel, and one wash cloth per number of persons the property sleeps and one set of sheets per bed) will be provided for each reservation. All beds will be made with the exception of sleeper sofas, futons, and trundles. Kitchen linens include one dish towel and one dish cloth.
Smoking is strictly prohibited inside all rental units. You will incur additional charges for carpet and furniture cleaning and deodorizing if any evidence of smoking is found in your unit. Also please be considerate of the environment and property you’re occupying by cleaning up discarded cigarette, cigar, and etc trash before departure. Additional cleaning charges may occur for those that do not leave the property and grounds of the property as they found it. There are no exceptions to this policy.
Repairs and Service Calls: Please report any problems, needed repairs/services, or inoperative equipment to our office promptly. We will make every effort to have repairs done quickly and efficiently. All homes will be fully functional at check-in but we cannot guarantee appliances, TV’s, air conditioners, fireplaces, etc. and refund or rate adjustments cannot be made for any mechanical failure.
In the event that a rental unit has a Swimming Pool or Sauna/Hot Tub available for your use, you and all other guests in the rental unit hereby confirm and agree: that there is no lifeguard on duty;, that you are solely responsible for any incident or injury involved with the use (regardless of the cause); and that you and all other guests release, acquit, and forever discharge the owner and manager of the property from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, and liabilities.
All efforts will be made to accommodate property amenities or guest amenities advertised or offered. However, under no circumstances can DLR guarantee or warrant any one property or guest amenity. Please report any issues with property or guest amenities immediately to either of DLR offices. No refund or rate adjustment will be given.
No compensation will be given for temporary outage of electricity, gas, water, cable, satellite, internet, or telephone service. Utility service outages should be reported immediately and all efforts will be made to have them restored as soon as possible. In the event an outage cannot be restored DLR has the right to substitute rental properties (see Right to Change Rental Assignments below) for the remainder of the reservation or until the utilities are fully restored, whichever occurs first.
Minimum Stay: Most rentals require a minimum advance reservation of seven days during the Summer Season but may be available for shorter periods of less than seven days during the Spring, Fall and Winter Seasons. Reservations may be made at any time for available unreserved units for less than the minimum day requirement only if reserved within one week or less in advance to arrival.
We do not rent to anyone under the age of 21 (legal photo ID required upon request). Any reservation made under false pretenses will be subject to forfeiture of advance payment, deposit and/or rental money. Violators will be evicted.

Occupancy limits are in accordance with rules of the State Fire Marshal’s Office. No exceptions will be made. Guest exceeding maximum occupancy will be subject to forfeiture of advance payment, deposit and/or rental money, and will be evicted.
Destiny Luxury Rental may terminate this Agreement upon the breach of any of the terms hereof by Tenant. Tenant shall not be entitled to the return of any rental paid under the terms of this Agreement and shall be evicted.

The confirmation deposit for Short Term Reservations (28 days or less) is one half (50%) of your total reservation cost. The confirmation deposit for Long Term Reservations (28 days or more) is one half (50%) of the first month’s total reservation cost plus $250.00 for each additional month. All reservations must be confirmed with an acceptable form of payment. After receiving your deposit your confirmation will be emailed and/or mailed out to you. Final payment for Short Term Reservations is due in full 30 days prior to arrival. Long Term Reservations are to be paid in full 30 days prior to each month’s occupancy.

If the property is not re-rented the guest forfeits all deposits and/or money paid.
Vacation Rental Insurance is available and provides coverage to protect guests from a wide array of unexpected events such as, but not limited to, unpredictable weather, a medical or family emergency. We strongly encourage you to purchase this coverage to protect your vacation investment, as no refunds will be offered, even in the event of a mandatory evacuation. Information about the optional insurance can be viewed on insurance provider’s website. This insurance is non-refundable and is subject to the policies and procedures of the insurance provider. If you choose not to purchase this coverage, the cancellation policy will prevail and no automatic refunds will be given. The terms and conditions are of insurance carrier and NOT Destiny Luxury Rental.
As part of your stay you have the option of choosing either a Refundable Damage Deposit, or purchase an Accidental Rental Damage Insurance – designed to cover unintentional damages to the rental property that occur during your stay. Damage Insurance, if purchased, the policy will pay a maximum benefit of $1,500 up to $5,000. Any damages that exceed $1,500 will be charged to the credit card on file. All rental properties are inspected before and after each occupancy. Rental guests have full financial responsibility for all damages due to misuse, willful misconduct, negligence or missing items. RDD will be refunded only after the property has been thoroughly inspected or 15 business days after departure, whichever occurs first. Sight Unseen: Our vacation rental units are individually owned and furnished. We try to accommodate our renters, but we will not give refunds or adjustments if you find the décor or furnishings unacceptable to your preferences. We manage privately owned vacation homes which are furnished to the owner’s tastes, but no two properties are the same. Rates, descriptions, bed sizes, inventories, and furnishings are subject to change without notice. Neither the rental agent nor the owner will be obligated to neither provide replacements nor give refunds for failure or absence of any items.
Ruidoso is a growing area and is becoming most desirable. Some areas are currently involved in re-nourishment projects, and there is the possibility that construction projects may be in progress near-by during the time of your stay. DLR cannot predict when or where these jobs will begin or how long they will last. Therefore, we have no control in these situations and no compensation or substitutions to other properties will be considered.
