Payment

The rental agreement becomes valid upon receipt of the deposit in the landlord's account. The deposit, amounting to 30% of the rental price, is due within 7 days of receiving the rental agreement and must be transferred to the landlord's account. After the deposit has been paid, the remaining balance and the security deposit must be paid two weeks before the start of the trip. The security deposit is 400 euros and will be refunded to the tenant’s account no later than 14 days after departure, minus any damages that may have been recorded upon departure.

Tenant's Obligations

The tenant agrees to personally occupy the holiday home (no subletting to third parties) and to treat the rented property (holiday home, furnishings, and outdoor facilities) with care. If any damages occur to the holiday home and/or its inventory during the rental period, the tenant is required to report them to the landlord immediately. Any defects and damages found upon arrival must be reported to the landlord immediately. The landlord must be given a reasonable period to rectify any defects or damages. Claims arising from complaints that are not reported immediately on-site are excluded. Complaints submitted only at the end of the stay or after leaving the holiday home are also excluded from compensation claims. If the tenant stays at the holiday home with a dog(s), they must ensure that the dogs do not stay on/in the beds or on the seating furniture at any time. Dogs must be rinsed off outside and are not allowed to be washed in the shower. In case of non-compliance, the owner has the right to withhold the security deposit until cleaning costs are settled. On the day of departure, the tenant must remove their personal belongings, dispose of household waste, and return clean and washed dishes to the appropriate cabinets. The fireplace must be cleaned, as well as the charcoal grill if it has been used. Dog waste must be removed from the property.

Landlord's Obligations

The landlord is obligated to provide the rental property to the tenant on time as agreed in the contract. If the landlord is unable to do so, they must cover the cost of an equivalent alternative accommodation or fully reimburse the rental costs. The landlord’s liability is limited to the total rental price paid by the tenant.

Tenant's Liability

The tenant is fully liable for any deliberate damage or destruction. In the case of damage to furniture and furnishings caused by the tenant, the landlord has the right to demand the replacement cost from the tenant upon departure or deduct it from the security deposit. Likewise, the landlord has the right to claim the cost of any damage to flooring, ceilings, walls, carpets, windows, etc., if caused by improper use or negligent behavior by the tenant. The tenant is responsible for insuring against rental risks such as water damage, fire damage, or other damages caused by them (this is usually included in personal liability insurance – please verify before traveling). In the absence of insurance, compensation is required in case of damage.
