SHORT TERM RENTAL AGREEMENT

(Furnished Holiday Accommodation)

 

RENTAL PERIOD

 

The rental period is agreed to and accepted as that stated in accompanying Acknowledgement of Booking Request. The rental period commences at 16.00 hours on the first day of the tenancy and terminates at 10.00 hours on the final day.

 

The Tenant agrees to respect these times to allow the property to be inspected and serviced between tenants.

 

CHARGES AND TERMS OF PAYMENT

 

The rental charge for the rental period is agreed to and accepted as that stated in accompanying Acknowledgement of Booking Request. Included in the rental charge is the provision of cold and hot water, electricity and/or gas, provision of bed linen & swimming pool maintenance. 

 

25% of the total rent is payable at the time of booking. The balance will be paid eight calendar weeks prior to the commencement of the rental period (if the balance is not paid at this time, the Owner is at liberty to assume this agreement to be cancelled).

 

A deposit of either £200 or €200 in cash will be taken on arrival against damages. This will be returned on departure if there are no damages.

 

INSURANCE & LIABILITIES

 

The Tenant undertakes the responsibility to insure himself/herself and party against personal injury and third party loss or injury arising from their renting of the property. The Tenant and all members of their party accept that the Owner of the property will not be held accountable in any circumstances for any such injury or loss.

 

Tenants are strongly advised to take out comprehensive travel insurance at the time of booking covering all the usual holiday eventualities including recovery of any rentals and other travel expenses (air and ferry tickets) in the event of cancellation by either party. The Owner will not accept liability for any costs, damages or expenses incurred as a result of cancellation.

 

In the event of problems arising with the property or its contents during the rental period, the Owner will do everything possible to solve said problems immediately or with as short a delay as is practicable. However, the Owner cannot be held responsible or accountable for any problems relating to the rental that are unforeseeable and/or are beyond our control. 

 

The Owner is aware of new legal requirements appertaining to swimming pool security and security measures (alarm systems) are in place in both properties. Whilst the Owner will endeavour to ensure that security devices are in good functioning order, we cannot be held liable for any swimming pool related injury or accident irrespective of good or malfunctioning of pool security equipment. We would stress that the provision of pool alarms is no substitute for proper adult vigilance and supervision.

 

In the event of any loss or damage being caused to the property by the Tenant or members of their party, the Tenant undertakes to report this loss or damage to the Owner or to our representative on site within 24 hours of the occurrence.

 

 

CANCELLATION

 

In the event of cancellation by The Tenant any sums paid are not refundable. However, in the event of cancellation, the Owner will endeavour to re-let the property, and if successful, will refund all sums paid less all expenses incurred in re-letting.

 

The Owner reserves the right to cancel bookings for the property if, through circumstances beyond its control, the property becomes unsuitable or unavailable for rental. In the unlikely event of this occurrence, the Owner will reimburse all sums received by the tenant.

The sleeping capacity of the property is as specified in the Acknowledgement of Booking Request and must not be exceeded at any time without the prior written agreement of the Owner.
