Failure to comply with the above will result in the following: a fine for every call out to the home to warn (and quieten) you should we receive excessive noise complaints from neighbours. Should it come to our attention that a loud party is being held or was held, we reserve the right to evict immediately with no refund of monies paid including breakage deposit. Should immediate eviction not be possible, the owner or manager has the right to call on private security guard/s to ensure the above noise conditions are adhered to. The cost of this will be for your account. Eviction will then take place the next day.
