RULES FOR RENTAL
GFWC Woman’s Club of Ocoee
Rules for Rentals
A deposit of $500.00 will be paid at the time of signing the contract for rental. Contracts will not be signed, and dates will not be reserved without the deposit. No less than 30 days notice is required for cancellations; less than 30 days notice results in the deposit being forfeited (extenuating circumstances excluded).
Payment in full is required 30 days prior to the event. Personal checks, money orders, cashier’s checks and cash are accepted.
The deposit will be refunded within 30 days after the event date providing the building and the grounds outside are left clean and there are no damages. The renter agrees that if there are damages and/or cleaning exceeds minimal wear and tear, the deposit will be forfeited.
Rules:
SMOKING NOT PERMITTED. Our building is a Non-Smoking Facility. A cigarette butt receptacle is available for your use to be placed outside. The renter is responsible for their guests and must clean the outside areas removing all cigarette butts and other debris from the front entrance and adjacent grounds. The cigarette butt receptacle must be emptied and replaced in the back kitchen area if used. Failure to do so will result in the renter’s deposit being forfeited.
WALL Do NOT use tape, staples, command strips or any other tacky substances on the walls. If paint is damaged due to items being attached to walls, renter’s deposit will be forfeited.
KITCHEN The kitchen MUST BE CLEANED after use. All appliances (stoves, refrigerator, microwave), sinks and countertops MUST BE CLEANED. Refrigerator MUST be emptied. Cleaning supplies are located under the sink. The GFWC Woman’s Club of Ocoee does not provide any utensils, cookware, dishes or linen; the renter must provide their own.
BACK KITCHEN ALL items in the back kitchen are the property of the GFWC Woman’s Club of Ocoee and may not be used by the renter -- with the exception of the ladders. A complete inventory of supplies in the back kitchen is maintained and if it is found that any articles were used or are missing, the renter’s deposit will be forfeited.
FLOORS ALL floors are to be left clean. Sweeping is required. If your function has created an excessive amount of dirt, debris or spills, YOU ARE REQUIRED TO SWEEP AND MOP. If you need to mop, use only clear cold water. Floors must be left in the same condition as they were at the beginning of the rental or the renter’s deposit will be forfeited.
ABSOLUTELY NO FOIL OR METALIC GLITTER FOR TABLETOPS AND OR PARTY CONFETTI ALLOWED!
