CONTACT OWNER

The renter has to treat the object carefully and is obliged to report all demages immediately to the property manager. Damages (e.g. at technical equipment, furniture, carpets, walls etc.) have to be paid respectively and can be compensated with the security deposit. Also the renter has to report damages being discovereed within the first 24 hours after arrival, otherwise he is responsible for those damages even if not caused by himself. In case of technical problems the renter has also to contact the property manager immediately for solving or fixing such problems. Within the bounds of reasonability the renter has the duty to help as much as possible to keep the level of damage low.

If non-swimmer are present (especially small children) the renter is obliged to install the safety fenc around the pool. At any time the renter has to grant access to the garden and the pool-area for the garden- and the pool-service.

The renter further is responsible for the cleanliness of the object and has to leave it in a proper form at the departure day. Kitchen utensils, dishes, cutlery, glass ware etc as well as oven and grill are not part of the final cleaning. In case the renter does not comply with this agreement this additional cleaning will be made at extra charges.

The renter by himself is responsible for the compliance with passport-, visa-, currency- and health regulations. All disadvantages that might result by not obeying such regulations are at his account.

 

 

 

 

Arrival and departure

The hand-over of the keys depends on the agreement between renter and propert manager. Usually the object is available from 4 p.m. at the date of arrival. Earlier times normally are not possible.

At the date of departure the renter has to leave the object until 10.00 a.m. Other arrangements must be in the written form. For the hand-over of the object at the date of departure the renter has to arrange a time with the property manager at least 2 days before.

 

Security Deposit

The security deposit is not included in the rental amount. The security deposit (US$ 500.00) has to be paid no later than at Check-In via cashier´s check or cash in US$.

It stands as security for eventual damages at the object itself or other facilities of the object.

The deposit will be refunded at Check-Out or within 4 weeks after departure. However, the return of the amount of security does not exclude justifiable compensations for damages at a later time.

 

Payments

25% of the rental amount is due within 10 days after signing the contract. The rest of the total rental amount and the cleaning fee is due 4 weeks prior to arrival date.

Payments must be drawn on US funds and be paid by to the order of "Josef Steindl" . Please take care about the correct spelling of the names. Costs caused by delayed payments are at the expenses of the tenant.

 

Extra charges

Included in the rental fee are the costs for house instruction, water, as well as fees for waste disposal, cable TV, high-speed internet, local phone calls and the costs for pool- and garden- service. An electric fee of KWH 230.00 per week is already included in the rental rate. Additional consumption will be charged on use up until departure ($0,15/KWH). If the cleaning service needs to clean the grill, there is a US$ 50,00 extra charge to be paid directly to the property manager at check-out. We recommend that you always clean the grill after use for hygienic reasons.

 

Changes in booking and cancellation

Changes in booking after closing of the contract are considered as cancellation and renewal that means cancellation terms are applied. Should the renter cancel the contract see the following cancellation policy:

Cancellation till 49 days prior to arrival       : 25% of total rental amount

Cancellation 48-35 days prior to arrival       : 40% of total rental amount

Cancellation 34-21 days prior to arrival       : 60% of total rental amount

Cancellation 20 days or  prior to arrival       : 100% of total rental amount

 

The cancellation charge due will be reduced if the vacation home is rented to another tenant for the same/or longer time period with similar rental amount.

To protect against the loss of your rental payments a travel insurance is strongly recommended.

Withdrawel or cancellation - also partially - has to be in written form. Decisive for the time limits is the incoming date of the document at the owner of the house.

A later reduction of number of vacationers or an earlier ending of the vacation does not lead to a reduction of the original rental fee. The lesser also does not grant any reimbursements in case of cancellation of the vacation or early departure because of bad weather conditions. The clause is also valid in case of announced hurricanes or flooding.

In this regard it is recommended to conclude travel cancellation insurance.

 

Pets/Non-Smoking

Pets are not allowed in the house or anywhere on the lot, except in case there is a special agreement by the lessor. Smoking is strictly forbidden inside the house. However, smoking on the patio is allowed when doors to the living-room are closed. If the renter doesn´t comply with that he is responsible for all damages which arrise from that ( AC cleaning is about $ 300,00).
