Payment

The rental agreement becomes valid upon receipt of the deposit in the landlord's account. The deposit of 30 percent of the rental price must be paid into the landlord's account within 7 days of receiving the rental agreement. After the deposit has been made, the remaining balance and the security deposit are due two weeks before the start of the rental period. The security deposit amounts to 200 euros and will be refunded to the tenant’s account no later than 14 days after departure, minus any damages that may have occurred and were recorded at departure.

Tenant's Obligations

The tenant undertakes to personally occupy the holiday apartment (no subletting or transfer to third parties) and to treat the rented property (studio, inventory, and outdoor facilities) with care. If any damage occurs during the rental period, the tenant is obliged to report it to the landlord immediately. Any defects or damages identified 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 on-site without delay are excluded. Complaints made only at the end of the stay or after leaving the holiday apartment are also excluded from compensation. On the day of departure, the tenant must remove all personal belongings, dispose of household waste, and store clean and washed dishes in the designated cupboards.

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.

Number of Persons

The tenant has the right to use the holiday apartment with up to 2 people. When booking, or at the latest upon arrival, the number of persons must be specified. Accommodating more than 2 people for overnight stays during the stay in the holiday home is not permitted, nor is setting up tents on the property to house additional guests. In case of violation, the landlord is entitled to immediately terminate the rental agreement without notice. This also applies after arrival has already taken place.
