Terms of Hire and Description of Property
1. Contract
The Contract of Holiday Rental commits the owner to rent a furnished property
situated in 11700 Azille,
Bookings from persons under 18 years of age cannot be accepted.
2. Rental Payment
The rental must be received in full by the owner, at least eight weeks before the intended date of arrival.
Charges for utilities are included in the rental. The owner may not claim extra payment for them at a later date. The hirer may not demand a reduction in charges at the end of the rental.
3. Payment of Deposit
For a booking made more than eight weeks before the intended date of arrival, a deposit of one third of the total rental is required. The balance will be paid at least eight weeks prior to the holiday starting date. The owner will define the amount of deposit required.
Payment of the deposit legally binds the hirer to the rental. The hirer may only renounce the commitment by forfeiting the amount paid and by payment of the balance outstanding for the rental.
A commitment to hire always becomes binding by payment of a deposit. The balance of the rental will be paid at least eight weeks before the intended date of arrival.
The hirer will send a personal cheque for payments due which will be banked, on receipt by the owner.
4. Payment of Guarantee Deposit
In addition to the rental, a guarantee deposit will be sent by the hirer to the owner at least eight weeks before the intended date of arrival. The owner will define the amount required for the guarantee deposit and is entitled to bank the guarantee deposit on receipt. The guarantee deposit will be refundable to the hirer within 31 days of the end of the rental – subject to a satisfactory condition of property inspection.
The guarantee deposit serves purely to cover potential costs of degradation and/or loss and/or extra cleaning to the rented accommodation which has been caused by the hirer or the hirer’s visitors, during the period of the contract.
The hirer’s personal cheque will be banked on receipt by the owner and the amount will be returned to the hirer, in total or in part, according to any costs incurred, within 31 days after the hirer’s departure from the property.
5. Address and Inventory
On receipt of the full rental and the guarantee deposit, the owner will send the property address and a detailed inventory.
On arriving at the property, it is the hirer’s responsibility to check that the accommodation corresponds to expectations – condition of the property and inventory of furniture and equipment, for the occupants’ use, must be determined. Article 1731 of the Civil Code states, “if the condition of the property has not been verified, the user is presumed to have received them in a good state of rental repair and must surrender them as such”.
In the same way, a reverse condition of property must be made prior to departure.
6. Holiday Tax
This tax is payable by all temporary residents in tourist resorts and parishes. Places which carry out tourist promotions may also levy this tax. It is the owner's responsibility to levy and pay the tax to the parish.

The owner is entitled to restrict the number of people who stay in and/or use the rental property.
The owner undertakes to deliver the accommodation in accordance with the description made of it, in a good state of cleanliness and without hindrance to its normal, peaceful use (article 1721 of the Civil Code).
The owner accepts no responsibility for events outside her control even if these result in losses and/or accidents on the part of the hirer.
9. The Hirer
The hirer is bound to use the rental property in the role of "head of the family".
The hirer must take care of the accommodation, keep it clean and not annoy neighbours with poor behaviour.
The hirer is responsible for degradations and some risks (fire, water damage, theft, etc.) during the rental.
10. Expiry of Contract
On expiry of the contract, the hirer must hand the keys back to the key holder and vacate the property by 0930h.
It is then that the condition of property established on arrival serves to confirm whether everything which was present in the accommodation is still present and has not deteriorated.
If all is in order, the owner will return the amount paid by way of guarantee deposit, within 31 days after the occupants' departure from the property.
11. Degradations
If there is any deterioration and/or loss of items and/or additional cleaning, the owner will have to evaluate the damage and deduct the amount from the guarantee deposit.
If, unfortunately, there is a need for complaint, please, contact the owner as soon as possible to ask for assistance to resolve the problems.
No refund will be made for problems if the hirer refuses opportunity for the owner or representatives to resolve the situation during the stay. The same will apply if problems arise during the stay but the hirer says nothing until after departure.
A little vigilance on the part of the hirer can avoid any disagreement.
In case of conflict, a loss adjuster may resolve the matter amicably but, if not, the tribunal court will decide.
