Venice Community Center Security Deposit

The security deposit shall be equal to the reservation deposit.

For rentals under $250, the security deposit shall be $100.

The user shall be responsible for all costs associated with damages to park facilities, equipment, furnishings, and grounds.

The damage deposit will be refunded upon verification by Parks and Recreation staff that the facility or grounds or other rental area has been left in a condition similar to that prior to use and that there has been full compliance with the agreement/permit authorizing the event.

Should the facility, grounds, or other rental area not be left in its original condition prior to use by the user, the deposit will be applied to the actual cost of necessary custodial services, and/or personnel charges (billed at over-time) materials, and equipment required to complete repairs.

The user shall further be responsible for any costs above the amount of the deposit. A violation of any rental condition, rule, regulation, or ordinance, or a material misrepresentation by an individual, a group, and/or organization shall result in forfeiture of the security deposit.
