UTILITY PLAN DETAILED POLICIES To protect our estate systems from architectural strain while rewarding conservative energy consumption, we utilize a standard two-tier program balanced with California PGE and EBMUD guidelines:
• Utility Plan A: Utilities are entirely free of extra cost if you follow standard conservation practices. Thermostats are set to a maximum of 68 degrees for winter heating and a minimum of 78 degrees for summer cooling. All structural exterior doors and windows must remain completely closed while HVAC systems are active. Over 175 past guests have seamlessly enjoyed this plan with zero additional fees.
• Utility Plan B: If you prefer complete temperature freedom without tracking parameters, or if structural consumption consistently exceeds the Plan A baselines, your account automatically adjusts to Plan B. This adds the designated utility surcharge matching your specific layout to offset the higher utility volume costs. This plan is fully flexible and resets back to Plan A rates at the start of the next billing cycle once usage returns within standard baselines.
VEHICLE, CAR, AND LAUNDRY POLICY
• Secure private parking behind two gates for exactly one vehicle is included. EV charging port access is available; surcharges apply based on off-peak PGE rate structures (Midnight to 3 PM).
• Shared laundry facilities operate under resource-conservation limits and are restricted to two full, consolidated loads per week per resident. High-efficiency liquid detergent only. Note: Property structures operate on separate sub-meters tied to a sensitive, county-regulated septic system.
CRITICAL HEALTH, AIR QUALITY, AND PROPERTY DISCLOSURES
• Strict HypoALLERGENIC Environment: We cater to corporate and contract guests who cannot tolerate pet dander, chemical treatments, or lingering environmental toxins.
• Strict Clean Air Policy: No candles, incense, burning materials, strong chemicals, synthetic air fresheners, essential oils, or plug-ins are permitted inside the units. Perfumes or heavily scented lotions must be applied outside the house. Lingering cooking odors from heavy frying or open grease processing are prohibited.
• Strict No Outside Furniture Policy: Studios and apartments are provided 100 percent fully furnished and turn-key. Bringing outside furniture of any kind into the units is strictly prohibited (no mattresses, bed frames, sofas, or desks).
• Animal and Property Safety: This is an interior No Pets property. We fully honor all State and Federal Fair Housing laws regarding legitimate Service Animals and Emotional Support Animals (ESAs). Requests undergo a systematic review process under California Assembly Bill 468. Unannounced visitors or visiting animals present a severe safety hazard to our loose horses. All human visitors require a minimum of 4 hours advance notice, and absolutely no visiting animals are permitted past the gates.
PROPERTY ACCESS AND PRE-SCREENING REQUIREMENTS By maintaining strict, unwavering identity checks and screening criteria, we actively protect the safety, quiet enjoyment, and severe medical needs of our residents.

• Professional Residential History: Minimum of two years of positive, verifiable landlord references.
• Mandatory Gate-Arrival Identification Rule: To protect our residents and livestock, property walkthroughs are strictly limited to pre-screened inquiries. A valid government-issued photo ID is strictly required for all arriving parties immediately upon arrival at the gate, before entry onto the estate grounds.
• Credit and Background Check: Formal screening is completed comprehensively through KeyCheck during the final leasing phase following your tour.
• Application Fee: $40.00 (payable to Palomares Canyon Estate). A separate tenant screening fee is paid directly to KeyCheck by the applicant for credit, criminal background, eviction, identity verification, and rental history screening.
