What are my Rights? Am I eligible for a Refund from Base Rent
At Base Rent, we strive to ensure that our users have a clear understanding of their rights regarding refunds. Given the nature of our rental services, users may find themselves in various scenarios that could lead to inquiries about refunds. Understanding these situations will help you better navigate your account management and billing. Users are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the following circumstances that might qualify for a refund.
Service Interruption: In instances where a user experiences a significant disruption in service that prevents access to the rental property, they may be eligible for a prorated refund for the period affected.
Adjustment of Rental Agreement: If changes to a rental agreement are initiated (such as updates to terms or rates), and these changes impact the user's usage, it may warrant a review for potential adjustments to their billing.
Cancellation During Grace Period: Users who decide to cancel their rental agreement within any specified grace period outlined in their terms may be eligible for a full refund of fees paid up to that point.
Billing Discrepancies: Should a user notice any discrepancies in their billing that requires clarification or adjustment, this situation might be reviewed, and depending on the findings, a refund could be considered.
Promotional Credits: If a user qualifies for any promotional credits that were not applied at the time of billing, they might be eligible to receive a refund equal to the amount of the unutilized promotion.
It is always advisable for users to reach out to Base Rent's customer service to discuss their specific situations and clarify eligibility in any of these instances. Our team is dedicated to assisting you in resolving billing inquiries efficiently.
