House Rules

If you decide you want to live in our house, after you pay the homestay.com fee, you must send owner, by Western Union or PayPal the security deposit, which is the same amount as the room rental fee for one month, and also sign our rental contract agreement (which is similar to these instruction and conditions.

The security deposit is 100% refundable if you don't cause any trouble while you are staying with us. For instance, if after you sign the rental contract, you breach the contract or cancel coming to the house, then you wouldn't get back your security deposit.

*Home stay fee is $1,400 a month for the gray room, $1,300 for the yellow room and $900 for the living room.

*Basic fee is included in the above one price. However, if the renter requires
more assistance or causes more expenses than is common, than is covered by the basic fee, then we would charge more to cover the extra costs.

*Owners do not refund money if renters are absent from the home during the rental contract period.

*Payment: the rent for a month is to be made on the 28th before the first of every Month, by Autopay. For instance: the rent payment for May would be made on April 28th. (i.e., Please don't wait until the last day to pay, but pay 2 or 3 days in advance.

*The late fee is $50 a day.
After 3 days, the owner has the right to evict the renter.

*Lease is month to month. Three months minimum.

*During home stay, you can bring friends into the house, but your friends can not spend the night, take a shower, be loud, do laundry or cook. But may have non- alcoholic beverages (tea, coffee or snacks are ok).

*If your friend wants to spend night, and has owner's permission, she or he would have to pay $35 a day. The payment must be made before the friend spends the night, not afterwards.

*The garage is not available for any of your belongings unless you have received our permission.

If you put something in the garage without our permission, we would need
to charge you $10 per day.

*No smoking in the house.

*Home stay renter must give least 30 days notice before moving out.

*If the renter can't give 30 days notice, the renter must take the responsibility
to find a new renter, but owner must agree to accept the new renter or the current renter must pay 30 days rental fee.

*Owners cannot take personal responsibility for behavior of renter. Any legal, social, financial or other problems caused by the renter must be the responsibility of the renter or parents of the renters, if a minor.

    I studied at the UCSD for 6 months, so i was looking for a place to stay in the UCSD area with a reasonable price. I was fortunate enough to find the Bates-family at homestay.com. Their house is very close to the UCSD (10 mins by bike) and the rent was very reasonable. Their house is very beautiful and the whole family was very nice to me and they helped me in every situation. I would definitely recommend staying there for any period of time!! :-)

    The host cancelled the booking 3 days before the arrival date.

How do I book?

Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.

When do I pay?

Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) using a choice of payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal (not available in certain countries). You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.

When can I share my contact details?

Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
