UUCDC requires renters of our space to follow these rules:

  1. All persons applying for use of the facility must be at least 21 years old.
  2. A deposit of 50 percent of the rental fee is required with the written contract. Full payment is due seven days prior to the event. The key to the church can be picked up when the balance of the contract is paid.
  3. Cancellation less than 30 days prior to the event will result in forfeiture of the deposit.
  4. If there is any breakage or damage during the event, the lessee will be responsible for the costs of it. The church reserves the right to receive a damage deposit prior to the agreement. A $25 key deposit is also required.
  5. The Church reserves the right to remove from the premises any disorderly person or group at any time without refunding payments.
  6. Delivery of any equipment for an event must be made prior to the event and such equipment removed prior to 9 a.m. the following day. Any exceptions must be negotiated in advance with the church office.
  7. The following are strictly prohibited:
    • Smoking anywhere within the building
    • Throwing of rice, bird seed, confetti, or paper rose petals (exception: fresh flower petals)
    • Flowers or plants placed on the floor without protective covering; any of these properly placed must be removed immediately following the event
    • Thumb tacks, nails, or tape on walls or woodwork (exceptions may be arranged at the time of rental agreement)
    • Fires (other than candles excepted by church permission in advance)
    • Use of the playground except by prior arrangement.
  8. The building and all furniture and equipment are required to be left clean, orderly, and in the condition it was before the event. The church does not offer cleaning services. Renters must follow this clean-up checklist:
    • Take out garbage. Cardboard and white paper are recycled and go into the dumpster so marked. All other trash should be placed in the other dumpster. 
    • No beverages or food should be left inside the church.
    • Sweep/vacuum floors as necessary. Mop if needed.
    • Wipe down and put away all tables and chairs.
    • Pick up any litter at entry ways.
    • Take away any pamphlets, brochures, or other material from your event.
    • All lights must be turned out. Note: the night light outside the upstairs bathroom is on a light sensor and cannot be turned off.
    • Turn off all fans (including the exhaust fan in Fellowship Hall).
    • Remove all computers that are not church property and turn off audio-visual (AV) equipment.
    • All doors and windows must be closed and locked. The outside doors can still be opened from the inside when locked. This allows persons remaining in the building to leave after the doors have been locked.
    • If the clean-up checklist is not completed, the renter may forfeit the right to use the facilities and the function will be terminated by the church.
