Seasonal Procedures & Timeline for Sugarloaf Seasonal Rentals

General Information

  • The lease period is typcially November 1 to May 1 of the upcoming ski season. Many owners will let you extend the lease to incude the month of October if necessary.
  • The seasonal rental does not include housekeeping services on a regular basis. The unit will be cleaned prior to your arrival, and we have staff available to clean as often as you require at $35 per maid hour. In addition, we have linen service available.
  • Shared Seasonal Rentals:   The properties in the shared seasonal program are for your use approximately half the season and one holiday week (either New Years or February Vacation) unless noted otherwise on the listing. Most owners are flexible and the sharing schedule can be worked out a number of ways. Before signing the lease, it is imperative that you communicate the most important dates that you would like to have the condo for yourself. After the essential dates are ironed out, we will get a lease out to you with utility information and the agreed upon shared schedule.

Payment/Utilites

  • To confirm the rental, you will be required to submit a 50% non-refundable lease payment with the lease within 7 days of receving the lease. The only condition under which the 50% payment would be refundable is if the property is re-rented for the full amount; you would then pay a $100.00 processing fee. Please be aware that the State of Maine requires us to charge a 7% lodging tax on seasonal rentals. The seasonal tenant is required to pay this tax in addition to the prices listed above.
  • Your next obligation will be to pay the remaining 50% of the lease, the security deposit (usually $500-$1000) and any pre-charged utility bills by the 1st day of tenancy, typically November 1st. You are also expected to have the appropriate utility accounts in your name as of that date. Access to the unit will not be allowed until it has been verifified that all necesssary utility billing has been transfered to the tenant. This does not apply to the shared seasonal rentals that expect to be billed through our office. Please be aware that you will not be able to collect the keys to the unit and take occupancy until the lease is paid in full and required utility billing has been switched to your name.

Arrival/Departure

The first day you arrive, we will provide you with an inventory list to apporve and a premises condition statement to fill out. These must be signed and returned to our office within 2 weeks of your arrival date. Failure to do so will result in your acceptance of the condition of the property and the inventory provided.

An exit walk-though will be done after you have left to review the inventory list and compare the premise condition statement to the property. You should have returned your keys and removed your belongings prior to the inspection. There is a $35 inspection fee that will be charged to your account.

Your security deposit will be returned no later than the 1st of June, provided that your responsibilities hve been taken care of as of the 1st of May.
