General Rental Agreement

Deposit: A 25% non-refundable deposit is required at time of reservation to guarantee a reservation. This deposit will be applied towards the rental fee. Any remaining fees that are due must be paid one month in advance of the scheduled rental. (Salt Lake County Refund Policy #1205)

A $300 damage/cleaning deposit is required, and will be refunded if the building is left undamaged and clean, as determined by Wheeler Farm Staff. If the deposit is paid by check or cash, it will take four to six weeks to be refunded by Salt Lake County. If paid by Visa or MasterCard, you will need to call in the afternoon of the next working day and give your card # for the refund. The user assumes the responsibility and liability for injury to persons or damage to property.

Clean up: All areas used must be returned to the conditions and order they were in before scheduled use. All litter, trash, and garbage must be deposited in the dumpsters outside the building. All spills must be wiped up immediately. Wheeler Farm is not responsible for any equipment, supplies, or other property left on the premises. Cleaning equipment is located in the cleaning closet between the restrooms East of the kitchen. (See the museum attendant for assistance and to sign off for your refund).

Supervision: A responsible adult must be identified to the Museum Attendant on duty. Responsible supervision includes having a supervisory person at Wheeler Farm before the group arrives and must confine the group to the reserved area so as not to disturb others. Persons identified as supervisors will be held responsible for the behavior of all those participating in their activity. They will see that their group abides with all the policies, local and state laws; and they will take action to correct any problem, which may arise. If problems persist, the Museum Attendant will take steps to correct the problem, including if necessary notifying the police and/or terminating the event in progress.
