Booth rental and client agreement tips for Buckeye
- Write a clear policy on redo requests and refunds so a dissatisfied client has a path short of a claim.
- Require renters to keep their state license current and posted at their station.
- Record patch and strand test results, including when a client declines a test.
- Note in the lease who is responsible for plumbing, water heaters, and HVAC repairs.
Contracts set expectations, and the policy responds when something goes wrong anyway. The two work best together.
