UrbanLux Lodgings operates in full compliance with:

• Federal Fair Housing and anti-discrimination laws;
• The Illinois Business Corporation Act, Hotel Operators’ Occupation Tax, and relevant consumer laws;
• Applicable local zoning, licensing, and safety ordinances in each property’s location.
   

Guests agree to use the property lawfully and acknowledge that certain cities or counties may impose additional registration or licensing requirements.

Taxes & Fees

• Taxes may include local occupancy, lodging, or hotel operator taxes, depending on jurisdiction. 
• When required by law, these will be collected by the booking platform or directly by UrbanLux Lodgings LLC.
• Guests are responsible for any other applicable fees, such as municipal registration surcharges or credit card processing fees, if disclosed at booking.

Mid-Term Rental (MTR) Stays

For bookings exceeding 30 consecutive days:

• Early termination may result in forfeiture of deposits or remaining rent.
• MTR stays are temporary lodging agreements and do not establish a landlord-tenant relationship unless explicitly stated in writing.
   

Dispute Resolution

Disputes will first be addressed through good-faith communication.
If unresolved, they shall be settled through binding arbitration in DuPage County, Illinois, unless another jurisdiction is mutually agreed upon. Each party shall bear its own legal costs unless otherwise awarded.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. This ensures that UrbanLux Lodgings remains compliant with Illinois legal standards, regardless of where a property is located.

No oral or implied statements alter this agreement.
