This rental is made under the usual conditions, which the tenant undertakes to fulfil, failing which damages may be claimed and the agreement may even be terminated, at the discretion of the agent, and without any right to claim a reduction in rent.
Arrival time is from 5:00 pm until 8:00 pm (see special arrangements with the concierge service). Departure time is normally 10:00 am.
It is agreed that in the event of cancellation by the tenant:
-
More than one month before the start date of the lease, the tenant forfeits the deposit paid.
-
Less than one month before the start date of the lease, if the balance has not been paid, the tenant shall pay the difference between the deposit and the total rent, as a contractual penalty.
In the event of cancellation by the landlord, within seven days of the cancellation:
-
More than one month before the start date, the landlord must refund the sum paid by the tenant.
-
Less than one month before the start date, the landlord must refund the sum paid by the tenant and find a solution to rehouse the tenants.
In the event of force majeure, the sums paid will be refunded to the tenant.
If the tenant has not reported a delay of more than two days from the planned arrival date, the landlord may lawfully attempt to re-let the property while retaining the sum paid by the tenant.
The tenant is required to occupy the premises personally, to use them with due care (“as a reasonably prudent person”) and to maintain them. All installations are in working order, and any complaint concerning them made more than 24 hours after the tenant takes possession will not be accepted. Repairs made necessary by negligence or poor maintenance during the rental will be at the tenant’s expense. The tenant must ensure that neighbours are not disturbed by the tenant or their family between midnight and 6:00 am. Please do not use the pétanque court after 10:00 pm. In the event of proven nighttime disturbance (neighbour complaint or intervention by the police), a penalty of €135 will be charged to the tenant.
The property is non-smoking and does not accept pets.
The premises are rented furnished, with kitchen equipment, dishes, glassware, sheets, bath towels, blankets and pillows, as described in the attached inventory. Please do not take bath towels to the pool. About twenty pool towels are available for this purpose in the cabinet on the first-floor landing. Where applicable, the owner or their representative shall be entitled to claim from the tenant on departure the full replacement value of any items, furniture or equipment that are broken, cracked, chipped or damaged, and of those whose wear exceeds normal wear for the duration of the rental, the cost of cleaning any blankets returned dirty, and compensation for damage of any kind to curtains, wall hangings, paintwork, ceilings, windows, bedding, furniture and garden equipment, etc.
The tenant undertakes to leave the premises in the same condition as on arrival, with the furniture in its original place.
The tenant undertakes to take out insurance against rental risks (fire, water damage), and a certificate of insurance must be provided upon entering the premises. Failure to be insured will give rise to damages in the event of a claim. The landlord undertakes to insure the property against rental risks on behalf of the tenant, and the tenant is obliged to report to the landlord, within 24 hours, any damage occurring in the property, its outbuildings or accessories.
The security deposit must be paid by bank transfer 5 days before arrival. It will be returned no later than 1 month after the tenant’s departure, except where deductions are made.
In the event of non-return or loss of the set of keys, the tenant shall pay the landlord €1,500 in damages.
The tenant may not refuse a visit to the premises if the owner or their representative requests one.
