Occupancy & Basic Rules

- Events like weddings, parties, or similar events with visitors not listed in the guest list are expressly disallowed. Visits by caterers must be approved in advance.
- A maximum of seven vehicles can be parked in the driveway behind the gate. There is no street parking. Parking on the shoulder-less street blocks neighbors and emergency vehicles and will result in a ticket and tow.

Monitoring
- A camera faces the driveway to observe vehicle activity. All guests must be parked on the driveway, behind the gate.

- The Lessor is alerted on tampering or if noise is sustained for five minutes at or above 75 dB during the day or 70 dB during quiet hours between 10PM and 7AM.
- Alerting is not triggered by random bursts of laughter, kids playing, or background music that allows normal conversation.
- The Lessee is the primary point of contact and is expected to bring their group into compliance upon notification.
- Repeated alerts or substantiated neighbor complaints about noise or parking constitute a lease violation and may result in termination without refund.
- We expect our neighbors to respect our guests, and we expect our guests to respect our neighbors.
The Grinder Pump
- Everything that goes down a sink or toilet encounters a 'grinder pump' that pumps waste uphill to the city sewer system.
- Tampons, feminine napkins, 'wet wipes', food scraps, grease, or oil will clog the pump. Use a waste basket instead!
- Contact the Lessor immediately if the pump alarm sounds in the garage (toilets will back up).
- If the pump ceases to operate during the rental period or immediately after checkout, and the plumber finds evidence of Lessee misuse, then the Lessee agrees to pay for the service call and repairs.
The Dock & Boat Lift
- Maximum boat length on lift is 24ft. Maximum boat weight on lift is 5000lbs.
- Discharge all water from ballast to lighten the lift load.
- Lift should be ALL THE WAY UP, else cables may slip.
- Tie boat to dock to mitigate risk of lift malfunction.
- The Lessor is not responsible for boat damage due to lift failure.
- Please leave the boat lift in the UP position when not in use.
- A second boat up to 30ft can be tied off to the dock, but cannot be lifted.
- Lake Travis is not a constant level lake. Because of this, the stair count to the dock will vary from 20 to 100 steps, and may not have handrails for its full length.
- The dock is not visible from the house. Children must be supervised.
The Pool
- Swim at your own risk. Children must be supervised. NO DIVING (max 6ft depth).
