by you or any alternative accommodation we provide. Please ensure that you have read and
agree with this rental agreement prior to making any booking with Stay in Scarborough. These terms
must be complied with by you and all other members of your party (or if you are booking the

the accommodation). You accept responsibility for the actions of anyone that you allow into

identity of all persons that will be staying in the Accommodation and of any changes.

refuse entry to persons who cannot provide the information set out above.
