SECURITY DEPOSIT

A $300.00 security deposit is required to reserve a date for the Hall, in addition to the rental fees. The security deposit will be paid separately from the rental fees and returned within 30 days after the event or when all accounts are settled, whichever is later if the renter has no infraction of the contract.

If there is an infraction of the contract, the deposit will not be returned to the renter, and the renter may be subject to additional fees for the breach of the contract.

CANCELLATIONS

In the event, cancellation occurs two (2) weeks before the scheduled event date, the full value of the deposit will be withheld by the Houston Black Firefighters Association.
