3. all rent must be paid a week in advance!
4. please do not leave your garb age or boxes behind – we have limited dumpster space and need your help – thanks!

6. you must rent for at least 2 weeks in a row to receive any “renters benefits” at the Auction – no exceptions!!!
IMPORTANT NOTES!!!!!! please make sure if your planning on being a long term vendor (more than 3x a year) you have your traders license and if you plan on selling outside more than 3x a year at the TARP please have your Hawker / Peddler too- we're not the experts in this field so PLEASE contact Harford County, or the state to find out the details - its up to you to make sure you have what you need to do business at the TARP - a traders license is under $20, and takes 15 minutes to get, so if you need one...get one... : ) also if your planning on selling ANY food, please contact the Harford County Health Dept. to make sure you have the appropriate permits etc.
SOME “YES” and “NO”s
#1 "YES" you can leave your stuff in the building, as long as you are renting
#2 "YES" you can rent a week at a time, or as long as a month at a time
#3 "NO" you do not HAVE to pay for the entire month at one time...week to week is fine
#4 "YES" you can build your own booths, use the space however you wish
#5 "NO" you do not HAVE to be there all day Sat & Sun - you pay for the weekend, but that is up to you - of course you should plan on the TARP being VERY busy, so you probably won't want to miss sales
