General Terms and Conditions (GTC) for the rental of holiday apartments
1. Arrival and departure
Departure must be by 10:00 a.m. on the day of departure so that the apartment can be cleaned for the next guests. Departure times that exceed the check-out time by more than 30 minutes will result in an additional night's stay being charged. Other arrival and departure times can be individually arranged with the landlord.
If the tenant fails to arrive by 11:30 PM on the day of arrival, the contract will be deemed terminated after 24 hours without notification to the landlord. The landlord may then freely dispose of the property. A (pro rata) refund of the rent due to early departure will generally not be made.
If non-rental guests are staying overnight, the number of visitors and the length of stay must be communicated to the landlord prior to arrival. This may increase the rental costs.
2. Payment
The rental agreement becomes valid upon receipt of payment into the landlord's account. The invoice is due within seven days of receipt of the booking documents. If the payment deadlines are not met, the landlord may withdraw from the contract. Non-payment is considered a withdrawal and entitles the landlord to re-rent the property. The total amount stated in the rental agreement includes the additional costs (water, energy, final cleaning, waste disposal, GEZ = 7% VAT) and the service fee (parking, use of play and sports equipment = 19% VAT).
3. Withdrawal
You may withdraw from the contract at any time. If you cancel less than fourteen days before the start of the rental period, the full price must be paid. Otherwise, the cancellation is free of charge. Any amounts already paid will be credited. You may provide a replacement person who will enter into your contract under the stated conditions. Written notification is sufficient.
4. Tenant’s obligations
The tenant undertakes to treat the apartment, including its furnishings and outdoor facilities, with care. Should any damage to the apartment and/or its furnishings occur during the rental period, the tenant is obligated to report this to the landlord immediately. Any defects discovered upon arrival must be reported to the landlord immediately (by 11:30 p.m. on the day of arrival); otherwise, the tenant is liable for these damages. A reasonable period of time must be allowed to remedy any damage or defects. Claims for complaints not reported immediately on-site are excluded. Complaints received by the landlord after the apartment has been vacated are also excluded from compensation.
On the day of departure, tenants must remove all personal belongings. Household waste must be disposed of, and dishes must be clean and washed and stored in the kitchen cupboards. The property must be left free of rubbish.
Subletting the property by the tenant or allowing non-tenants to stay overnight in the apartment and/or on the property without the landlord's knowledge is strictly prohibited (see also point 1). Violations will result in immediate termination of the rental agreement by the landlord, and the property must be vacated immediately.
If the tenant has forgotten personal belongings and does not report them, the items left behind will be destroyed after a retention period of 6 months after departure.
5. Pets
Pets are not allowed in our holiday apartments.
6. Data protection
The tenant agrees that, within the scope of the contract concluded with him, necessary personal data may be stored, modified, and/or deleted. All personal data will be treated with absolute confidentiality and will not be shared with third parties. The tenant has the right to object to the storage of his data at any time. Deletion will take place within a reasonable period of time, provided there are no legal requirements (e.g., tax law).
7. Liability
This advertisement was prepared to the best of our knowledge. We assume no liability for any impact on the rental property caused by force majeure, power and water outages, and severe weather. Likewise, we assume no liability for unforeseeable or unavoidable circumstances such as official orders, sudden construction work, or disruptions due to natural or local conditions. However, the landlord will be happy to assist in resolving any problems (as far as possible). The landlord assumes no liability for the use of the provided play and sports equipment. The tenant is solely responsible for their own travel to and from the property. The landlord is not liable for personal belongings in the event of theft or fire. The tenant waives any and all claims for damages. The tenant is fully liable for any deliberate destruction or damage.
8. Final provisions
Photos and text on the website or in the flyer serve to provide a realistic description. 100 percent conformity to the rental property cannot be guaranteed. The landlord reserves the right to make changes to the furnishings (e.g., furniture), provided they are of equivalent quality. Should one or more provisions of these terms and conditions be or become invalid, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. The invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid one that most closely reflects the economic and legal intent of the contracting parties. German law applies. The place of jurisdiction and performance is the landlord's place of residence.
