@BryanHochNo Major League franchise boasts a richer and more storied history than the Yankees. Appropriately, the 21 numbers that have been removed from circulation to honor 22 of their finest players and managers stand as the most in Major League Baseball.
Lou Gehrig's No. 4 was the first retired number in Major League history, shelved on Jan. 6, 1940, via an announcement from team president Ed Barrow. Some 77 years later, Derek Jeter's No. 2 became the last of the Bombers' single digits to disappear from use.
Displayed in Monument Park at Yankee Stadium, the retired numbers represent a "who's who?" of sports history, belonging to the greatest of the great. Hall of Famers mingle with fan favorites across different eras, all of whom helped the Yankees' brand become synonymous with success.

Going on a trip to another city or country, it is better to book a hotel room for a specific date in advance so as not to stay overnight looking out on the street. But sometimes the trip fails, it becomes necessary to return the money for the reservation. By law in Russia, booking cancellations are possible without consequences, despite the tricks of some hotel business owners to prescribe penalties for such “violations”.
The client has the right to cancel the room reservation at any time, regardless of the date of such a decision.
The thing is that the cancellation policy is regulated by the RFP (Consumer Protection Law No. 2300-1 of 1992) and the conditions for the provision of hotel services described in the RF GD No. 1853 of 2020.
Booking a room, in its essence, is recognized as the provision of a paid service. That is why, with regard to the removal of armor, the rules regulated by the RFP and the Civil Code of the Russian Federation apply.
By law, the client has the right to cancel the booking at any time. However, in this case, he is obliged to reimburse the hotel for all the expenses incurred by it related to the provision of the service.
The condition is spelled out in Art. 30 of PP No. 1853 of 2020, and in Art. 782 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. Costs include only losses actually incurred.
Pay attention! The hotel does not have the right to include lost profits in the costs associated with the booking, for example, due to the fact that they did not settle in the room of another client.
In order to cancel a reservation for a specific date, experts recommend following the generally accepted procedure:
According to the general rules, the hotel considers an application for a refund for booking a room for a specific date within 10 days. After that, he returns the finances in the way specified in the application.
It is recommended to notify about the cancellation of the reservation before the date of arrival.In this case, the client will be able to avoid problems associated with the sanctions established by the internal regulatory documents of the hotel.
If the client postponed the reservation to another date or canceled the reservation, in fact he refuses to fulfill the contract. In this case, the consequences are described in Article 453 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. According to this provision, the funds provided by the client during the booking are recognized as unjust enrichment. And Article 1102 obliges the hotel to return the money back.
Cancellation rules, approved by the hotel's internal regulatory documents, may indicate that a refund for a room reservation for a specific date is carried out only upon a written request from the client.
There is no single application form. The hotel administration can independently develop a form. However, even if the hotel has a standard sample, the client has the right to submit an application written in a different form.
The main thing is to indicate in it all the information required to consider the issue and make a decision:
In the application, you can indicate the reasons for refusing the reservation or justify the legality of your requirements with references to legislative acts, but this is not a prerequisite.
Sample Application
Sample application for a refund for a booked room

In order to cancel a pre-booked arrival date, the client submits an application.
You can transfer the application in the way agreed in advance with the hotel representative:
It is important to keep evidence that the client actually submitted the application, the hotel representative received it, and the hotel reservation was canceled. If the application is sent online, then email correspondence serves as confirmation. By sending a document by registered mail, the sender receives a notification of the date of delivery of the package to the addressee. And if the client submits the application in person, it is recommended to make it in two copies. Give one to the administrator, and on the second, ask him to put a mark on the acceptance of the application and save the paper.
If the hotel does not return the money for the reservation, experts advise first writing a claim addressed to the manager.
There is no single document form. It must reflect the same information as in the application, as well as supplement with information about an attempt to cancel a room reservation for a specific date.
The claim is sent personally against the signature of the acceptance of the document, or sent by registered mail with notification.
Case study:
Before going on a business trip to another city, D. Kovalev booked a room at the Three Stars Hotel. But the trip was canceled due to the illness of the man. The client called the hotel 2 days before the date of arrival and asked to cancel the reservation. The booking was canceled and informed that no one would return the previously paid money to him.
Kovalev wrote a claim addressed to the head of the Three Stars Hotel, in which he demanded the return of the money paid for 2 days of staying in the room. His demands were denied.
The man then filed a lawsuit. The judge, having considered the case on the merits, came to the conclusion that the plaintiff had the right to refuse the service.
The money received by the hotel at the time of booking the date was recognized by the judge as unjust enrichment and ordered to be returned
As a general rule, the hotel management is obliged to respond to the claim within 30 days after receiving it. If this did not happen, or the decision of the hotel administration did not suit the client, the latter has the right to seek help in protecting his rights in court or Rospotrebnadzor.
Important! Management has no right to impose sanctions for the refusal of a room reservation. Such conditions, prescribed in the contract, are recognized as null and void.
Vasiliev Roman planned to go on vacation to St. Petersburg for a week with his family. The man booked the room in advance. But on the appointed date, the travelers could not go on a trip, as the vacation was postponed.
Vasiliev consulted with the hotel administrator, wrote a cancellation letter and sent an application by e-mail 3 days in advance.
The hotel management sent a reply. It said that the client was charged a cancellation fee of 100% for 3 days of stay. Sanctions are written in the contract. The hotel returned the rest of the money.
Vasiliev did not agree with the management's arguments and wrote a claim in which he demanded the return of the remaining amount. The hotel refused to meet the requirements of the client.
The man then sued. The judge found that the client informed the hotel representative in advance that he would not be able to settle in the room on the appointed date. The hotel did not incur any actual costs due to the cancellation of the booking. The court granted the plaintiff's demands and ruled to return to him the money recovered in the form of a fine, and declared the clause of the contract, which spelled out the sanctions, null and void.
How can I cancel a hotel room reservation if I am in another city and cannot personally arrive at the hotel either on the appointed date or later.
+
In order to cancel a reservation remotely, it is important to contact the hotel representative in advance and consult about the cancellation scheme. Most likely, the administrator will advise you to write a statement and send it by e-mail, or by other methods of online communication.
Can the hotel recognize the loss of profit from checking in another guest on that date as actual costs associated with the cancellation of the reservation.
+
On the basis of PP No. 1853 of 2020 and the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the hotel has the right to recover from the client, upon receipt of a refusal, to check into the room on the booked date, only the actual costs incurred. Lost profits are not recognized as such expenses, therefore, they cannot be recovered from the failed guest.
The hotel does not refund the money for the reservation, referring to the internal rules.
Is the hotel management doing the right thing?
+
The internal rules of the hotel cannot contradict the norms of the current legislation. The hotel is obliged to return the money for the cancellation of the reservation if the client did not check into the room on the appointed date.
By law, cancellation of a hotel reservation for any date is possible. In this case, the hotel is obliged to return the previously paid money to the client. To do this, it is recommended to write an application.
If the administration imposes penalties, referring to internal rules, you can apply for the protection of your rights to the court or Rospotrebnadzor. But before filing a claim with the court, experts advise to follow the claim procedure. It is possible that the hotel management will agree to voluntarily return the money.
A lawyer will help to draw up a claim, an application for a refund for a reservation, a lawsuit in court.
The lawyer will advise on issues related to consumer protection, build an effective strategy and, if necessary, accompany the client to the result.
