How to Avoid Damage Fees & Common Issues

We are a small business and we closely monitor our inventory of contents, furnishings, linens, cleaning supplies and soap dispensers. In the simplest terms, please do not take it, and please do not break it. 

If something does not look right when you check-in, or something does happen during your stay, please notify a Property Manager so we can help mitigate or resolve the problem and minimize additional charges, if any.

Our Property Managers fully inspect each apartment for damage and contents after each check-out and before each check-in for all stays.

The most common damage charges result from stains on bathroom towels, hand towels and washcloths used in the kitchen, to remove makeup or to polish shoes. (BCA does provide black washcloths for shoe polishing and makeup removal to avoid such charges.) Missing silverware, cups or glasses; rearranging furniture; or excessive messes that require additional cleaning are also common.

Other common charges:

• Permanent staining or soiling of towels, sheets, bed linens, mattresses, pillows, upholstery, walls, furniture, etc.
• Replacement of missing or broken houseware items, including but not limited to glassware, cookware, cutlery, lighting, furniture, cleaning supplies, etc.
• Excessive cleaning if required either during stay or after departure
• Boiling over, scorching or any mess on stove, in oven or microwave or on cookware requiring extra cleaning
• Signs of pets in the home or around the property without prior approval and payment of required fees
• Signs of damage from hair chemicals, colors, straighteners, nail polish, etc.
• Damage to or misuse of the washer, dryer or other appliances
• Signs of or residual smoke or debris of candles or incense
• Exceeding the maximum occupancy at any time
• Signs of a party or gathering
• Rearranging or damage to furniture
• Failing to vacate the property promptly at your scheduled checkout time without prior written approval and payment of any extension fees

In the Check-In and Lodging Agreement form, you authorized us to charge your credit card for the cost of full replacement plus installation to all items damaged or missing from your stay.

Please note, your credit card will not be charged unless damages are incurred.

Our damage policy is defined in the Terms and Conditions located at www.StayBCA.com/Terms-and-Conditions/.

Extensions can be processed anytime during your stay and up to 24 hours before your check-out date for no additional fee.
