Article 1: General terms
This is a rental agreement between the owner, Dany Séguier, and the renter (the undersigned). By signing this rental agreement, the renter agrees to abide by the terms and conditions described herein. Under no circumstances may the renter stay on the property beyond the rental period specified herein, nor claim any rights whatsoever to remain on the property after the end of the rental period.
Article 2: Security deposit
On arrival, the renter will pay a security deposit, in addition to the rent, for the amount specified in this agreement. The security deposit will be refunded to the renter on the day of departure or within 15 days of termination of occupancy, after any deductions to cover deterioration of the property or any costs incurred to return the property to the same condition as when occupancy commenced. The renter is responsible for cleaning the premises during the rental period and before departure.
Article 3: Use
The renter agrees to maintain the peaceful atmosphere of the rental property and to use the premises in keeping with its designated purpose. On departure, the renter agrees to leave the property as clean as it was on arrival. Given the large number of bathrooms in the house, we recommend that the renter accept the optional cleaning service at the price indicated on the agreement.
This rental agreement is between the owner and the signing party and access to the premises will be denied to any other parties – corporate or individual – even temporarily, without the express written consent of the owner. Any breach of this clause could lead to the immediate cancellation of the rental agreement due to the renter’s negligence, and the remainder of the rent will not be refunded.
No pets are allowed.
Article 4: Number of users
If the number of users exceeds the number indicated in this agreement, the owner reserves the right to deny use of the premises to the extra party and may cancel the rental agreement without a refund.
Article 5: Inventory of premises
An inventory of the premises will be held at the beginning and at the end of the rental period.
Article 6: Payment
Reservation: A reservation is only valid once the owner has received an advance of 25% of the total amount of the rental price as quoted on the rental agreement and a signed copy of the rental agreement before the deadline specified in the agreement. A second copy of the rental agreement is for the renter’s records.
Balance: The remainder of the rental price must be paid on arrival.
Article 7: Cancellation
The owner must be notified of any cancellations by registered mail.
Cancellation by the renter before arrival: The owner will keep the 25% advance as a cancellation fee. If cancellation occurs less than 30 days before the arrival date specified herein, the renter must pay the remainder of the rental price.
If the renter does not arrive within 24 hours after the specified arrival time, the present contract is cancelled and the owner is free to use the premises as she sees fit. The advance will not be refunded and the renter must pay the full rental price.
Article 8: Early departure
No refunds will be made if the renter must leave the premises before the end of the rental period.
Article 9: Insurance
The renter is liable for all damages to the premises. The renter must have an insurance contract that covers any damages that might occur during the rental period.
Article 10: Payment of additional charges
At the end of the rental period, the renter must pay the owner any charges incurred that are not included in the rental price.
Article 11: Litigation
After the third day of occupancy, no claims will be accepted concerning the state of the property on arrival. After occupancy ends, the renter has a maximum of eight days to address any claims to the owner by registered mail with acknowledgement of receipt, unless a specific agreement is reached with the owner. If the two parties cannot reach an agreement, the case will be handled exclusively by the court in the jurisdiction of the rental property.
