The facility is left in a clean and orderly condition per the “Cleanup/Departure Checklist.” Use of the area does not exceed the scheduled time. The area and its contents, including equipment and keys, are accounted for and undamaged. All rules and procedures governing alcohol consumption and smoking are met. (No alcohol or tobacco is allowed on premises) If the above conditions are not met to the satisfaction of church representatives, an appropriate fee will be deducted from the security deposit. If cleaning and/or repair costs exceed the amount of the security deposit, the responsible person will be billed. Repairs will be billed at the full replacement cost incurred, including labor.
