    Security

    Know your community’s requirements.

    Security requirements at community centers and association venues are set by the Board of Directors. Review the terms for the neighborhood you are booking.

    When virtual security is required under the rental agreement, Blackstone monitors cameras and other activity in the Community Center for compliance. Violations may be noted or reported to law enforcement. No physical officer is on site unless law enforcement dispatches one.

    $55 per hour · 4-hour minimum

    Current security billing rate shown on the original booking page. Check your community’s terms for whether security is required.

    If an incident during your event needs to be reported, call the Security Department at (240) 343-9481.

    Cancel a booking

    Cancellations must be submitted in writing. Booking guidance says you must cancel 7 days before the event to retain your security deposit; security guard fees may still apply after that point.

    The cancellation policy says a full refund requires cancellation 5 business days before the event; within 5 days, no refund is provided. Credit card booking fees are nonrefundable. Cancelled event funds are applied to any owner account balance before disbursement.

    Request cancellation

    Deposit returns

    The deposit policy says deposits are returned 5 to 7 business days after the event by check, payable only to the person who submitted the booking request.

    Post-event guidance also says returns can take 7–14 days. Funds from any return are first applied to an outstanding owner account balance.
