5.1 Management Fee (Per Rental Occasion):
Owner agrees to pay Manager a management fee equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the total gross reservation revenue per rental occasion ("Management Fee").
For purposes of this Agreement:
- A "rental occasion" is defined as each individual guest booking, reservation, or stay, regardless of length.
- Gross reservation revenue includes the nightly rate and any guest-paid fees collected for the stay, excluding taxes collected and remitted on Owner's behalf.
- The Management Fee shall be earned and due upon each completed rental occasion and shall be deducted prior to disbursement of net proceeds to Owner.
5.2 Cleaning Fees (Manager-Collected & Retained):
All cleaning and turnover fees charged to guests shall be collected, retained, and administered exclusively by Manager.
Owner acknowledges and agrees that:
- Cleaning fees are separate from rental revenue and are not included in the calculation of the Management Fee.
- Manager shall use cleaning fees to coordinate, schedule, and pay cleaning vendors and turnover services.
- Manager retains full discretion to set, adjust, and allocate cleaning fees based on property size, condition, and operational requirements.
- Cleaning fees are non-refundable to Owner, regardless of vendor pricing fluctuations or guest usage.
- Manager is not required to seek Owner approval for routine cleaning or turnover expenses covered by collected cleaning fees.
5.3 Additional Expenses & Maintenance:
Routine maintenance, repairs, utilities, HOA fees, and property-related expenses remain the responsibility of the Owner.
Emergency repairs may be authorized by Manager up to the threshold specified above without prior Owner approval. Expenses exceeding this threshold require Owner consent, unless delay would risk damage or guest safety. All approved expenses may be deducted from rental proceeds and itemized in the weekly invoice.
5.4 Invoicing & Disbursement:
Manager shall issue weekly invoices detailing gross reservation revenue per rental occasion, Management Fees deducted, cleaning fees collected, expenses paid on Owner's behalf, and net proceeds due to Owner.
Net proceeds shall be remitted to Owner within three (3) business days of invoice issuance via ACH / Check / Electronic Transfer.
