General conditions Provence & Savoie

DURATION
The rental period may not be extended without the prior consent of the owner or agency and the lessee's acceptance of this.

The lessee swears that he/she does not carry out, or intend to carry out, any profession in the rental property, and that the premises which this contract refers to will only be rented out to him/her as a temporary residence.  These are major conditions without which this rental would not have been agreed.

DEPOSIT
The deposit is paid to rectify any damage that may be caused to the rented property or movable or immovable objects used to decorate it, and to cover the various charges and consumption. This sum will be refunded on the day of your departure, or at the latest two weeks after the day of your departure (depending on the rental property), less any expenses incurred in replacing objects, carrying out repairs or further cleaning, and paying for consumption of utilities.  If the deposit proves to be insufficient, the lessee agrees to make up the amount. If the rental property has a telephone, the deposit will only be refunded once the telephone bill has been received.

PAYMENT
The down payment must be paid to Coins Secrets within four days of your booking request. It will be retained by Coins Secrets as payment for its involvement. The balance must be paid directly to the owner. Depending on the rental property, this payment may be made eight weeks before the start of your stay, three weeks before the start of your stay, or on the day of your arrival.

Non-compliance with this clause will lead to termination of the contract.
