HOLIDAY RENTAL GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The rental is deemed to be granted and accepted according to the price and conditions indicated in the rental agreement, of which these general conditions constitute an integral part. Please read these conditions carefully before making a reservation.
VILLA CAPACITY AND SPECIAL CONDITIONS:
Villa Harmonie can accommodate up to six people, adults and/children over 8 years of age. The premises are not suitable for children under 8 and pets are not allowed. The villa is not suitable for disabled/wheelchairs.
The tenant agrees not to accommodate other people than those indicated on the rental contract. The tenant undertakes to occupy the premises personally and in good faith, and to ensure proper respect, security and maintenance of the premises.
Smoking is not allowed on the premises. Failure to comply with this condition will result in the deduction of 150 euros from the security deposit.
As the villa is in a residential area, the tenant agrees to respect the neighborhood and in particular to refrain from having parties or making excessive noise. The tenant(s) should ensure that they do not disturb the peace of the neighborhood.
Under penalty of immediate termination without compensation, the tenant may not, under any circumstances, sublet or assign their rights under the rental contract. The rented premises must under no circumstances be occupied by a number of people greater than that indicated in the rental contract.
The tenant can obtain all relevant information on pricing and amenities either onhttps://villaharmonie-antibes.com or directly from the lessor or their agent.
BOOKING
The tenant can book directly on https://villaharmonie-antibes.com or on any other platform that holds the property.
Minimum rental period is seven nights, from Saturday to Saturday, unless otherwise agreed with the lessor.
Reservations are firm only once all rental fees have been paid by the tenant. Specifically such fees include the agreed rental price, depending on the duration of the rental and the season, as well as the security deposit (see below).
Upon receipt of the fees, the rental agreement becomes final and a copy is given to the tenant, who must return a signed copy to the lessor.
CANCELLATION:
In the event of cancellation of a firm reservation more than 30 days before the start date of the contract, a cancellation fee of 25% of the rental amount will be retained. In the event of cancellation less than 30 days before the start date of the rental, or if the tenant does not take possession of the premises on the day scheduled for its rental, 100% of the rental fee will be retained. Tenants are therefore advised to take out cancellation insurance by their own means or via the booking platform, if used for the booking.
The lessor cannot provide cancellation insurance.
SECURITY DEPOSIT:
The tenant must pay a security deposit of 500 euros, due with the rental fee. The security deposit can under no circumstances be considered as payment, even partial, for rent.
The security deposit can be paid by in cash, by bank transfer or cheque. If the security deposit proves to be insufficient, the tenant undertakes to make good the amount.
The security deposit will be returned within a maximum period of one week from the departure of the tenant, after deducting any compensation retained for damage caused, unpaid services and/or loss of keys.
TOURIST TAX:
Tourist tax is included in the rental fee.
ARRIVAL:
Rentals start at 3pm on the day of arrival and end at 11 am on the day of departure. Keys should be returned in person to the lessor or his agent on the premises, after inventory of fixtures and inspection of the premises.
The tenant agrees to accept the premises rented in the condition they are in when they take possession, and as specified in the rental agreement. The inventory is deemed complete upon arrival. All amenities and household appliances are deemed to be in working order on arrival.
Any complaint and/or any anomaly concerning the accommodation or the equipment must be reported to the lessor or his agent as soon as the tenant becomes aware of them. By default, the premises and any equipment are deemed to be in good condition and any damage or defect may be considered the responsibility of the tenant.
In the event that urgent repairs incumbent on the property owner need to be carried out during the rental, the latter will make every effort to have them carried out as soon as possible. Notwithstanding, the lessor declines all responsibility for any delay in carrying out such repairs.
INSURANCE – RENTAL RISKS:
The tenant is required to take out insurance with an insurance company against the risk of theft, loss or damage to personal items, fire, glass breakage and water damage, as well as the risk of damage that they may cause to the furniture and fixtures rented through their negligence.
The tenant should therefore check whether their personal insurance covers this. If this is not the case, they should ensure an extended warranty, or take out a specific contract independently.
The lessor may request proof of such insurance at any time.
The parties agree that under no circumstances can the lessor be held responsible in the event of theft, loss or damage to personal effects belonging to the tenant.
TENANT OBLIGATIONS:
The tenant agrees to use the premises with care and in good faith and to use any equipment solely for the purposes for which it is intended. In the event the tenant has a question about or a problem with any of the amenities or fixtures, the lessor or their agent are at all times available by email or telephone. Under no circumstances should the tenant dismantle or carry out repairs on any equipment or fixture without the agreement of the lessor or his agent, under penalty of being held liable for any damage.
The tenant will refrain from throwing any objects into the sinks, bathtubs, toilets, etc. that are likely to obstruct pipes, failing which they will be held liable for the costs incurred for the servicing the amenities.
LESSOR OBLIGATIONS:
The lessor undertakes to provide the premises to the tenant in accordance with their description, and to respect any obligations under the rental contract.
The lessor or their agent cannot be held liable for any theft on the premises during the rental period.
DEPARTURE:
The tenant will vacate the premises at 11 am on the day of departure and hand over the keys to the lessor or their agent. The tenant is under no obligation to be present during the inventory and inspection of the premises, unless of course they wish otherwise.
JURISDICTION: :
For the execution of the present agreement, the parties agree that in the event of a dispute, the competent court will be exclusively that of the jurisdiction of the rented accommodation.
LEGAL REGIME:
The rental is undertaken as a temporary residence for vacation purposes. The premises may not be used as a main residence, and the tenant may not carry out any business activity in the premises. Consequently, the rental agreement is governed by the provisions of the French Civil Code (art 1708 and following) as well as by any conditions provided for herein.
