I'm getting married soon and I'm having a couple buddies come down for a fishing trip in galveston. We have rented a beach house for the weekend, which we did over 2 months ago. We put down the security depost and paid in full to resevre the house. The owner of the propertiey just emailed me telling me that he wants to add an amendment to our contract, saying that there are no parties, bachelor party, company gatherings, proms allowed. We are just planning on going on a 12 hour offshore fishing and hanging out playing washers, poker, and of course drinking plenty, nothing crazy at all. We are all responsible adults and don't plan on getting to wild especially after 12 hours in the gulf. He knows how many people are planning on being there but I'm worried that this guy is going to sneak up and see a bunch of guys drinking and playing poker and call it a 'party' and keep the security deposit or kick us out. He also has this cancelation policy stating that if he can't rent out the property for that weekend (which is in 2 weeks) he keeps the money. What should I do? Does this new amendment cancel our previous contract? I thought this was very lame of this guy to bring this up 2 weeks prior to the weekend!
It's a beach house for christ's sake! People suppose to party! It's only three of you and you're not throwing a big bachelor party! I think you'd be fine!
I would call and tell him that you'll sign the agreement but just reiterate to him what the weekend plans are and that it's just going to be you and a few friends celebrating your upcoming wedding. Assure him that it's not going to be a crazy bachelor party and that you will respect his property. If he still has a problem then ask for your money back and start looking for another place. But if he's changing the terms of the agreement, you shouldn't lose your money if he can't find a renter.
The owner of the propertiey just emailed me telling me that he wants to add an amendment to our contract, saying that there are no parties, bachelor party, company gatherings, proms allowed. Tell him it nice that he has this opinion against partying. Your signed contract trumps his new found opinion. If you want to be mean, tell him that there will be a bachlelor with lots of alcohol, naked women, and unrepented sin (and that you consider an offer to buyout the contract for $1000, cash.)
Thanks for the advice..I ended up emailing the guy back, telling him that this was first and formost a fishing trip and we wante a place to stay that would handle our large group (16 guys). I told thim that there would be alcohol involved and that we are all responsible adults and by no means would it be considered a party,and until I head his opinoin on this I wouldn't re-sign the contract. He responded back saying that he didn't have a problem with our fishing trip (No Crap, its not his buisness anyways) and he didn't want a party and to drink responsilbly. Anyways..I'm going to go ahead with this thing and hopefully he wont try to roll up on us..or he might just get his ass handed to him by 16 guys.
not to infringe on this topic but my situation is related....my prom group is having trouble finding a beach house in galveston and i was wondering if you all knew any good sites to look for one or if you all knew of anyone who ownes one large enough to sleep 30 people or at least fit 30 people comfortably, my prom is the 22 of april so we would need it for that night....thanks
