These factors are all part of our continuing quest to maximize marketing potential. By utilizing all the latest techniques and technology as they become available, we gain an advantage.
Rental Pricing
Our main goal when assessing a property for pricing is to identify all the weaknesses that will directly affect the income potential. In order to optimize its potential those changes need to be addressed. The pricing structure varies from home to home depending on location, amenities, maintenance, type of furniture and even the quality of linens and towels provided. We recommend that linen and towels are provided with each property. Pricing also involves intense market monitoring due to certain conditions that determine the best rates. For example, noticing any fluctuations in price increase rates due to special local events. Ultimately, after physically reviewing and assessing each property, we are able to make intelligent pricing recommendations based on intense comparison of similar homes in comparable locations.
Property Rental Tax/Tax Forms
MSR is not responsible for fulfilling tax submission duties on behalf of homeowners. MSR will maintain and provide a report of the owner income for each rental.
Client Fees/Commission
Our services provide owners with the ability to independently manage their properties within MSR's guidelines while reducing the usual 40% to 45% property management fee most agencies charge. Owners retain responsibility for the approval and signing of each property rental agreement. MSR maintains the calendar for the home to ensure there are no double booking issues. Owners are free to book their home themselves as long as MSR is made aware to update the calendar. No fees are applied to the owner booking with the exception of the cleaning fee to ready the home for the next renter.
Our main mission is to drive traffic to the properties. Because we do not directly manage any properties, MSR is compensated only by our co-branding fee of 15% of each property rental total amount. To ensure increased bookings, MSR requires the mandatory use of their Credit Card Acceptance Gateway for all online payment transactions and all credit card fees will be deducted from owner payouts. Our income depends on our ability to keep your homes rented. We work diligently to ensure we provide the best property values available on the market.

In order to preserve the integrity of the rental property, we ask that it be occupied in a quiet and dignified manner, protecting the premises and its contents against damage, loss or theft with adherence to all the rules and regulations of Miami-Dade County and the Owners. Renter(s) not in compliance may be asked to vacate the premises subject to forfeiture of rental and /or deposit money.
POOL/SPA DISCLAIMER/ASSUMPTION OF RISK - There is no lifeguard on duty. Persons using the pool and/or spa do so at their own risk and the Owners assume no responsibility for accident or injury. Vacation Property is equipped with a pool and a spa heated by an electric heat pump; when heated the maximum temperature is 83°. Please understand that it is not possible to guarantee the temperature of the pool which to some degree is dependent on the local weather. Guests should note that electrically heated pumps will warm a pool on a Florida pool home to the operating temperature of 75-85 degrees Fahrenheit in 24-48 hours - depending upon the ambient air temperature. Electrical pool heaters utilize a heat exchange pump. If the outside temperature at your vacation home drops below 55 degrees Fahrenheit, then the pool heater will not operate, and the pool will not be heated. If the overnight temperature drops below 50, the pool may not be able to return to the operating temperature range during the following day. Guests should also note that spa pools provided on vacation homes with electric heat pumps are not hot-tubs, and are not always designed to heat higher than the temperature of the pool. All should note that pool heat cannot be guaranteed, as sometimes mechanical devices fail, or environmental factors will not allow the pools to be heated. Guests must notify the owner of failure of pool heat on the day of occurrence, so that the temperature or the equipment can be checked by personnel. Owners will do their best to keep it operational; however, they cannot guarantee its operation all or any of the time of occupancy. Renter(s) should inspect on arrival. Owners will not be responsible to clean the pool/spa during Renter(s) stay; however normal maintenance of pool/spa service will be continued and Renter(s) must allow servicemen entry to pool area.
BARBECUE FEE - When provided, barbecues are for our guests enjoyment. Please be careful when using the equipment and clean up any spills straight away. The barbecue and surrounding area must be left in a clean and satisfactory condition. If the Owners deem the grill and area are left dirty, an extra cleaning charge will be made and deducted from the security deposit.
CLEANING FEE - A departure cleaning fee is required for all reservation periods. There will be an additional cleaning fee if house is not found in reasonable order.
PARKING - NO Commercial vehicles allowed to park on rental property ground.
TELEPHONE - U.S. and Canada toll free provided phone service.
KEYS - Home has a keyless entry system and code can be requested 24 hours before arrival.
STORM POLICY - No refund will be given unless: A: The National Weather Service orders mandatory evacuations in a "Tropical Storm/Hurricane Warning" area and/ or B: A mandatory evacuation order has been given for the "Tropical Storm/Hurricane Warning" area of residence of a vacationing guest. The day that the National Weather Service orders mandatory evacuation order in a "Tropical Storm/Hurricane Warning" area, we will refund: (1) Any used portion of rent from guest currently registered; (2) Any used portion of rent from a guest who is scheduled to arrive and wants to shorten their stay to come in after the Hurricane Warning is lifted; and (3) Any advance rents collected or deposited for a reservation that is scheduled to arrive during the Hurricane Warning period.

THIS AGREEMENT MUST BE ELECTRONICALLY ENDORSED BY RENTER
The U.S. Federal ESIGN Act of 2000 gives the same legal protection to online signing as to traditional pen-and-paper signing. The 1999 EU Electronic Signatures Directive and the UK Electronic Communications Act 2000, among other laws, set similar protections in Europe.
