LE GRAND MAINE - Holiday home rental in southwest France
CONTRACT OF RENTAL   
  1.  The property known as “Le Grand Maine” is offered for holiday rental subject to confirmation by the Owners  Mr AJ & NFK Hazell. 
  2. To reserve the property, the Client should complete and sign the Booking Form and return it together with payment of the initial non-refundable deposit (20% of the total rent due).  Following receipt of the Booking Form and deposit the owners will send a confirmation invoice and statement.  This is the formal acceptance of the booking. 
  3.  The balance of the rent together with security deposit (see Clause 4) is payable not less eight weeks before the start of the rental period.  If payment is not received by the due date, the Owners reserve the right to give notice in writing that the reservation is cancelled.  Reservations made within eight weeks of the start of the rental period require full payment at the time of booking. 
  4.  A security deposit of £200 for every booking is required in case of, for example, damage to the Property or it’s contents.  However, the sum reserved by this Clause shall not limit the Client’s liability to the Owners.  The Owners will account to the Client for the security deposit and refund the balance due within two weeks after the end of the rental period. 
  5.  Subject to Clauses 2 and 3 above, in the event of a non-insurable cancellation, refund of amounts paid will be made if the Owner are able to re-let the Property, and any expenses or losses incurred in doing so will be deducted from the refundable amount.  The Client is required to arrange a comprehensive travel insurance policy (including cancellation cover) and to have full cover for the party’s personal belongings, public liability etc, since these are not covered by the Owners insurance. 
  6.  The rental period shall commence at 5.00 pm on the first day and finish at 10.00 am on the last day.  The Owners shall not be obliged to offer accommodation before the time stated and the Client shall not be entitled to remain in occupation after the time stated, unless by prior agreement from the Owners. 
  7.  The maximum number to reside in the Property must not exceed 6 unless by prior agreement with the Owners.  For each additional person exceeding the original number quoted for, a charge of £100 per person per week will be levied. 
  8. The Client agrees to be a considerate tenant and to take good care of the Property and to leave it in a clean and tidy condition at the end of the rental period.  Although a final clean is included in the rental the Owners reserve the right to make a retention from the security deposit to cover additional costs if the Client leaves the Property in an unacceptable condition.  The Client also agrees not to act in anyway which would cause disturbances to those resident in neighbouring properties. 
  9.  The Client and party acquire no rights whatsoever over the Property excepting occupation as a holiday let for the period booked.  The Client will not sub-let the Property
  10.  The Client shall report to the Owners, without delay, any defects in the Property or breakdown in the equipment, plant, machinery of appliances in the Property, garden or swimming pool, and arrangements for repair and/or replacement will be made by the Owners as soon as possible.

  12. Under no circumstances shall the Owners liability to the Client exceed the amount paid to the Owners for the rental period.
