SAFETY FIRST

* NO ROOFTOP ACCESS. Accessing the garage rooftop is strictly prohibited for safety reasons. Violation of this house rule will result in immediate cancellation of your reservation without a refund.

* SPIRAL STAIRCASE AND SUNKEN LIVING ROOM.
The spiral staircase is steep and narrow. The living room is a "step down" of about 4" - both features of the property may be difficult for people with mobility issues.

* WIDE RAILING GAPS. The property is NOT recommended for small children. The railing on the spiral staircase and upstairs loft area has gapped intervals of 7"; wide enough for small children to squeeze through. Guests are responsible for keeping their children safe.

* SECURITY: Security Cameras and system are active on the premises (OUTDOORS ONLY) for your safety.

* WEATHER PHENOMENA: Beware that in AZ there are two weather phenomena that occur - Haboobs and monsoons. The monsoon season begins on June 15 and ends on September 30, but the storms peak between mid-July and mid-August. As monsoon season begins, we also prepare for haboobs, the miles-wide dust storms that characterize southwest summers and can make driving a challenge.

If caught in a a haboob:

1. Safely pull off the road while you still have visibility. Do not stop in a travel or emergency lane.
2. Turn off car headlights and interior lights so that other travelers don’t assume you are on the road and try to follow you.
3. Make sure all windows are rolled up and doors are tightly shut.
4. Close air vents so dust doesn’t come into the vehicle.
5. Stay in your vehicle with seat belts fastened and wait for the storm to pass.

EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMAL POLICY
In Arizona, emotional support animals (ESAs) are not granted the same legal protections as service animals under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

1. DOCUMENTATION: For an ESA, a guest will be asked to provide documentation from a licensed healthcare professional stating that the person has a disability and that the ESA provides support or alleviates symptoms of that disability. This is NOT required for _Service Animals_ under the FHA.

A. The documentation should be a letter or a formal document written by a licensed healthcare professional, such as a psychiatrist, psychologist, or licensed clinical social worker.

B. The documentation should be relatively recent, within the last 12 months, to ensure that it reflects the current need for the ESA.

C. The documentation should state that the individual has a disability as defined by the FHA and that the ESA is necessary to provide emotional support that alleviates one or more symptoms or effects of the disability. It's important to note that the document does not need to disclose the specific nature of the disability.

D. The documentation should include the healthcare professional's contact information, including their name, title, license number, and contact details, to allow for verification if necessary.

E. The document should be signed by the healthcare professional.

2. VACCINATION RECORDS: Proof of vaccinations help ensure that the ESA does not pose a health risk to other guests or pets in the vicinity. The ESA is required to have current vaccination records to ensure vaccinations are current and not expired in order to protect the health and safety of others, the property, and the community.

3. BEHAVIOR: ESAs should be well-behaved and not pose a threat to the health or safety of others. They should not display aggressive behavior or cause significant damage to the property.

4. SUPERVISION: ESAs may NOT be left alone in the rental property. You must take them with you when you depart the property. The ESA is expected to accompany you at all times.

5. LEASH AND CONTROL: ESAs should be kept on a leash or under control in common areas or when outside the rental unit.

6. CLEANLINESS: Owners are responsible for maintaining the cleanliness of the rental property and promptly cleaning up after their ESA.

7. NOISE: ESAs should not create excessive noise or disturbances that could disrupt neighbors or other guests.

8. PROPERTY DAMAGE: Owners are responsible for any damage caused by their ESA and are required to cover repair or cleaning costs.
