It'll cause a reduction in units available.

However, this risk needs to be weighted against other risks of managing properties remotely since doing it from ON has its own issues (can't do even smallest of repairs on your own, can't check on the condition of the units, can't even show them to tenants in person to evaluate those tenants when you are first renting to them, etc).

I would refund after recapturing whatever amount I had to take as a reduction as a result of the cancellation and I would cover any real costs I incurred as well (credit card fees, etc).

Now, that doesn't guarantee the qualified use will be met but it at least holds much more weight. 

Then weight the pros and cons of each market. 

You timing might be awful though as we just finished one of the worst years so likely your account is down and then you would add another 30% reduction on what you pull out. 

Cover the cloth with plastic wrap, weighting it with a book if necessary.
