Cleaning Fee & Security Deposit

*$150 Cleaning Fee (non refundable) This is used to cover the cost of cleaning immediately following your event as well as to help cover the cost of occasional deep cleaning and the maintenance cleaning that occurs during periods of less use.

** Up to $500 Refundable Cleaning & Security Deposit. The size of the deposit is determined by the scale of the event. This is 100% refundable if: the kitchen is left clean; dishes have been washed, dried and put away; tables & chairs are put away; garbage is condensed in the garbage cans or bags that are available at the hall; no leftovers or decorations are left behind; all fans and lights are off; all doors and windows are closed and locked, the key is returned to the lockbox and no more than “normal” cleaning is required. Extremely important during the winter months: The thermostat must be turned down to 45 degrees, which is not all the way off. The dial will easily stop at 45 degrees if you don’t try to turn it all the way to OFF. In the event that replacements, repairs or additional cleaning is needed following the rental, those costs will be deducted from the deposit or charged to the “Responsible Party”.

Larger events will also require an Insurance Rider naming Sierra City Fire Department as payee.
