OCHR will process and handle each rental request as quickly as possible; however, OCHR cannot guarantee the acceptance of any particular request.
OCHR requires a 50% non-refundable booking fee (with credit card), at the time of reservation to secure the rental. The Renter becomes liable for the balance remaining for the full period of the named rental.
The Renter shall pay the remaining balance for their rental booking as outlined:
50% of the balance is due immediately (payments made with credit card are subject to a 3% Mastercard & Visa, 3.8 % American Express convenience fee).
50% of the final balance is due, no later than 4 months before the beginning of the rental.
If the beginning of the rental is less than one month from the booking date, all payments are due in full immediately.
OCHR will hold all bookings as reserved. Final payment is due 4 months before arrival date; if, 48 hours after this date, the payment has not been received, the booking will be cancelled.
Payments can be made using one of the following methods:
Payment to OCHR through ONLINE BANKING. Transfer details will be provided to You with this agreement.
Payment by Visa or Mastercard, with a convenience fee of 3% of the amount, American Express 3.8%.
A refundable Security Deposit is required. The Security Deposit is taken and held in trust until an inspection of the rental property can be completed, after check-out, to confirm that there is no loss or damage. OCHR will release the Security Deposit via cheque in the mail, or by another method otherwise arranged and approved by OCHR.
Credit card information and non-expired government photo of identification of the Renter must be provided to OCHR at the time of booking
