RENTAL CONDITIONS
Article 1. Purpose: This contract is reserved exclusively for vacation rentals and only French law applies to this contract. Article 2. General Provisions: No modification (erasures, additions, etc.) will be accepted in the drafting of this contract without the agreement of both parties. The owner undertakes not to disclose to any third party any information of any kind, in any format whatsoever, that the tenant may have provided during the execution of this contract. These provisions do not, however, apply to requests for information made by government agencies and/or courts. Article 3. Conclusion of the Contract and Payment: The reservation becomes effective once the tenant has returned to the owner a copy of this contract along with the deposit (maximum 25%) for the stay, before the deadline indicated on the contract. The balance of the rent must be paid one month before the arrival date. The tenant agrees that the inventory of fixtures may be carried out either by the landlord or by a duly authorized representative of the landlord with written authorization. Charges not included in the rent must be paid at the end of the stay. 4. Security Deposit: The tenant pays a security deposit before arrival. It will be returned within a maximum of 8 days of the tenant's departure, less any amounts owed by the tenant for the purpose of restoring the premises to their original condition. The amount of these deductions must be duly justified by the landlord based on the move-out inventory, bailiff's report, estimates, invoices, etc. If the security deposit is insufficient, the tenant agrees to pay the difference based on the supporting documents provided by the landlord. This deposit may under no circumstances be considered as a contribution to the rent payment. Article 5. Time Out: The tenant must vacate the premises at the time stipulated in the contract or at a time convenient to the landlord, after the inventory of fixtures has been completed. The tenant may not under any circumstances claim any right to remain on the premises after the expiry of the rental period initially stipulated in the contract, unless the owner agrees.
Article 6. Use of the Premises: The owner will provide accommodation conforming to the description provided and will maintain it in good working order. The tenant will enjoy the rental peacefully and use it properly, in accordance with its intended purpose. The rented premises are for temporary or holiday accommodation only, excluding any professional activity of any kind (maximum 3 months). Upon departure, the tenant agrees to leave the rental property as clean as it was upon arrival. All repairs, regardless of their extent, necessitated by the tenant's negligence during the rental period will be at the tenant's expense. The rental may not, under any circumstances, benefit third parties without the prior consent of the owner. Subletting is prohibited, even free of charge, under penalty of termination of the contract; the full amount of the rent will remain due to the owner. The installation of tents or the parking of caravans on the rented property is prohibited without the prior consent of the owner. The number of tenants may not exceed the maximum occupancy indicated in the catalog or property description. Exceptionally, and subject to the owner's agreement, this rule may be waived. In this case, the owner will be entitled to charge a price increase, which must be communicated to the tenant beforehand and included in the rental agreement.
Article 7. Pets: If the owner allows pets, the tenant must specify which animals will be accompanying them. House rules established by the owner may specify the procedures for allowing pets. Article 8. Condition Report and Inventory: A condition report and inventory of the furniture and various equipment will be carried out at the beginning and end of the stay by the owner or their representative and the tenant. If it is impossible to carry out the inventory upon arrival, the tenant will have 72 hours to check the posted inventory and notify the owner of any discrepancies. After this period, the rented property will be considered free of damage upon the tenant's arrival. A joint condition report must be drawn up upon departure. The tenant agrees that this condition report may be carried out with either the owner or their representative. If the owner or their representative finds any damage, they must inform the tenant within eight days. Article 9. Termination Conditions: Any termination of this contract must be sent by registered mail with return receipt requested, the date of receipt being considered proof of delivery. Termination by the Tenant: The deposit will always be considered as a cancellation fee and will be credited towards the rental price. However, the deposit will not be considered as a cancellation fee if the agreement is terminated more than 60 days before the start of the rental period. If the tenant terminates the contract within 2 months of the scheduled arrival date, the following provisions apply: - Cancellation more than 30 days before the start of the stay: 25% of the rental price will be retained;
- Cancellation less than 30 days before the scheduled arrival date: up to 100% of the rental price may be retained, at the owner's discretion. If the tenant does not pay the balance 1 month before arrival or does not arrive within 24 hours of the arrival date as specified in the contract, this contract is cancelled and the owner may re-let the property. Any payments made remain the property of the owner. b) Termination by the owner: In the event of cancellation by the owner, the owner will refund the tenant all sums paid. In the event of termination during the rental period: When the termination of the contract by the owner occurs during the rental period, it must be duly justified (non-payment of rent, bounced check issued by the tenant, proven damage to the rented premises, complaints from neighbors, etc.). This termination, which must be effected by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt, requires the tenant to vacate the premises within two days of the date of receipt of the letter notifying them of this decision. In this case, regardless of the reason for the termination, the full amount of rent remains due to the owner. The owner reserves the right to retain the security deposit under the conditions specified in the "Security Deposit" section. Article 10. Early Departure: In the event of early departure by the tenant, and if the owner is not at fault, no refund will be issued, except for the security deposit. Article 11. Insurance: The tenant is required to insure the rented premises. They must check if their primary residence insurance policy includes vacation rental coverage. If not, they must contact their insurance company and request an extension of coverage or take out a specific policy with a "vacation rental" clause. Proof of insurance will be required upon entry to the premises. Article 12. Disputes: For all disputes arising from the execution or termination of this contract, only the courts of the jurisdiction where the leased property is located shall have jurisdiction.
