Space Rental Policies and Procedures

Nondiscriminatory Policy
Freehold does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, age, marital status, or physical or mental disability in its hiring, promotion, or student enrollment.

Payments
Payments may be made by mail, in person, or over the phone during office hours. Payments can be made by cash, check, or credit card (Visa, or MasterCard). There is a $2 non-refundable fee to run a credit card under $200. Payments over $200 will be charged a 2% handling fee.

A handling fee of $25 will be charged for processing returned checks.  If your check is returned more than once or if more than one of your checks is returned, you must pay all fees in full by cash or credit card before you will be allowed to rent, attend class or register again.

Past Due Balance
An overdue balance will be assessed a $25 late fee. Any account more than 90 days late will automatically be sent to United Collections Service.

Credits
Account credits expire one year from the day which they were issued.

Attendance & Behavior
Any student or renter displaying threatening, intimidating, violent behavior, or who brings a weapon onto or around the premises may be dismissed and asked to withdraw without a refund. Freehold reserves the right to refuse to register anyone who engages in disruptive or otherwise unacceptable behavior, including the use of illegal drugs or alcohol on or around the premises.

Studio Space Rental
Freehold has three studios available for rehearsal and performance rental. Full payment in advance is required to reserve a space. Payments can be made in-person or by phone during office hours. The person reserving the room will be responsible for all charges, fees, or cancellations. Once a space has been reserved and paid for, there are no refunds or rescheduling for cancellations. A fee of $50 will be assessed for any unauthorized space use.

Maintenance
No tape other than theatrical spike tape is allowed on any of the floors. You are responsible to remove tape at the end of your rental or you will be charged a $15 per hour clean up fee. Please help us keep the studios and hallways clean. There are trash cans in each studio and in our common areas. Any damage to Freehold property (including furniture, props, equipment, etc.) or premises by a student or renter is the financial responsibility of that student/renter. Failure to keep studios clean will result in a fine.

Liability
Renters freely and knowingly assume all risk incidental to participating in rehearsal at any of Freehold's studios. Renters understand and accept that Freehold, its staff and faculty, are not responsible for injury to persons or property related to participation in rehearsals in Freehold's studios. As a renter, you hereby agree to indemnify, release, and hold harmless Freehold Studio/Theatre Lab, its officers, directors, employees, or agents from any liability arising out of or related to any activity, accident, or incident in rehearsal and/or on the premises.
