Self Catering General Renting Conditions
GENERAL RENTING CONDITIONS FOR A HOLIDAY HOME
1 – GENERALS ARRANGEMENTS
The tenant wont be able to take advantage in any circumstance of any right to stay in the place when the agreed renting period is over.
2 - PAYMENT
The booking shall be confirmed when the tenant has
returned a copy of this agreement accompanied by the deposit payment (25% of
total price) before the above deadline date.
The balance of the rental price shall be paid on
arrival, after a joint inventory has been completed.
3 – SECURITY GUARANTEE OR DEPOSIT
On arrival, a security deposit shall be requested by the owner. The amount of this deposit shall not exceed the total cost of the renting price. The owner has the right to cash the security deposit.
It shall be returned to the tenant after completion of the departure inventory in the presence of both parties, or sent to the said tenant within 7 days, minus, where necessary, the cost of returning the premises to their original condition and the cost of replacing items and equipment provided. This deadline shall not exceed 60 days.
Where the security deposit is insufficient, the tenant commits himself to settle the difference, based on bills provided by the owner.
4 – USE OF THE PREMISES
The tenant will respect the restful character of the place and will make use of it in conformity with its destination. When leaving, the tenant commits himself to return the place in the same good state as it was when he came into the place (except for the final cleaning which will be done by the owner). This agreement cannot be used by a third party. The owner will supply the apartment as it has been described and will maintain it in good state.
5 – NUMBER OF OCCUPANTS
The number of tenants cannot exceed the accommodation capacity indicated in the rental agreement.
6 – INSPECTION AND INVENTORY
The inspection and inventory of the accommodation and its facilities shall be made in the presence of both parties at the beginning and end of the stay by the owner, and shall be signed by both parties.
7 – TERMS OF CANCELLATION
All cancellations must be notified by registered letter or telegram:
a) before taking possession:
As a general rule, the deposit shall be retained by the owner; however, it may be returned if the property is re-rented for the same period and at the same price.
b) if the tenant does not arrive on the day stated on the agreement:
After a deadline of 24 hours and without prior notification of the owner:
-
this agreement shall be
considered as cancelled,
-
the deposit shall be
retained by the owner,
-
the owner may make use of
the property for rental purposes.
c) in the event of cancellation of the rental by the owner:
The owner shall refund the tenant twice the amount of the deposit received.
8 – INTERRUPTION OF THE STAY
In the event of early interruption of the stay by the tenant, not attributable to force majeure, no refund shall be provided, apart from the security deposit. Force majeure shall be recognised where the tenant is able to provide evidence of serious reasons making full completion of the rental impossible. In this case, the owner may provide a refund of the sums already paid, corresponding, on a pro rata basis, to the length of uncompleted occupation.
9 – INSURANCE
The tenant is required to insure the premises entrusted or rented to him. He must therefore check that his main residence contract provides for tourist extension (holiday rentals). Where this is not the case, he should seek advice from his insurer. The owner may request a declaration of insurance or, failing this, a sworn declaration.
10 – DISPUTES AND COMPLAINTS
Where the complaint concerns the inventory or descriptive statement of the rental property, it must be expressed in writing within seven days of arrival. The owner and the tenant must seek an amicable settlement where possible. In relation to other disputes, the tenant may take the case, without time limit, to an agency of representation.
