Deposit

1. The deposit is €200.00. The security deposit serves to guarantee damage and/or costs – in the broadest sense of the word – that we may suffer in the event of non-compliance with the tenant’s obligations as a good tenant and the person(s) accompanying the tenant.
2. The deposit must be paid together with the first deposit of the rental fee. In case the deposit is not paid, we are entitled to deny the tenant access to the vacation rental. Furthermore, if you default on payment of the deposit, we are entitled to dissolve the contract with immediate effect.
3. The security deposit or any balance thereof will be refunded after settlement of claims (damage to inventory/vacation and/or other costs) from us to the tenant within 7 days of departure. Any (further) claims for damages shall not be extinguished by this refund.

Key receipt

1. The tenant will receive the details of our key manager by email or text message no later than one week before the arrival date and after payment of the full invoice amount.

In case of loss, theft or any other way of losing the key, the renter will owe a fee of €100.
2. All costs incurred due to your failure to deliver the property on time will be recovered from you. Goods found after your departure will be kept for you for a reasonable period of time, but we take no responsibility for them. Return shipping is possible (at your expense).

Liability/ complaints/ damages

1. The tenant and other users are fully liable during the relevant rental period in the rented vacation home for all damage caused to the house, its inventory and all items belonging to the rented object, unless the tenant and other users can make it plausible that the damage cannot be attributed to them. We therefore recommend that you inspect the vacation home and its inventory carefully upon arrival for defects and deficiencies.

The tenant is responsible and liable for their own internet usage and if any fines are imposed (e.g. illegal streaming), these will be passed on to the tenant.

All, by Landlord, costs to be incurred in connection with such breach will be recovered from Tenant.
