Terms and Conditions
How do we handle security deposits?
Our security deposit requests are based on a home’s features and/or the timing of a reservation, and are never requested based on anyone’s race, national origin, ethnicity, sex, gender identity, or age.
Two days before your stay begins, an authorization hold for the security deposit amount will be placed on your payment method. You won’t be charged, but the hold means that you won’t be able to access these funds until the hold is released. For example, if you’re paying with a credit card with a total credit limit of $5,000, and there's a security deposit of $500, your credit card limit would then be $4,500 until the hold is released.
As long as no property damage occurs during your stay, we’ll initiate a release of the security deposit placed on your card 7 days after your checkout. Your bank may take 3-12 business days to process the release of funds. If it turns out we can’t authorize the hold for the security deposit amount, you’ll be notified by email and will have 12 hours to try another payment method. If that doesn’t work out, we’ll cancel your reservation and you’ll be refunded.
Try to make sure your payment method has enough money available to cover the security deposit. (If you’re not able to do that, Huth's Clearwater Cabins is not responsible for any associated fees, including overdraft fees.)
If and when a host makes a request to collect on their security deposit, it will be handled according to the Host Guarantee Terms and Conditions. Under the program, hosts are required to provide documentation of the damaged or missing items, and request reimbursement from the guest within 7 days of checkout.
Before requiring a security deposit, hosts should understand that not all property damage caused by guests is within the terms of the Host Guarantee. Exclusions may include general cleaning, ordinary wear and tear, and non-physical damages like smoking fines and broken House Rules.
