Can the rental agreement be edited?
Property owners use standard rental agreements that are not open to general edits or revisions. Only specific details such as event hours, areas of use, and guest count may be modified upon request and mutual approval. Liability and indemnity clauses cannot be edited under any circumstances, as they are required by property owners and their insurance providers.

Does EventHouseLA work with private clients?
EventHouseLA works exclusively with agencies and brands.

Who is responsible for the event permit?
The client is responsible for obtaining all required event permits. Most cities—especially Malibu—require permits for gatherings, amplified sound, and temporary structures. A site plan, valet or rideshare contract, and portable restroom contract are typically required for approval.

EventHouseLA can manage the entire permitting process on the client’s behalf for a $1,500 coordination fee.
