Furthermore, the use of an existing dishwasher must be finished and cleared out, the rubbish bins must be emptied and the refrigerator must be cleared out.

§ 4 Holiday home

The house is handed over by the landlord in a tidy and clean condition with a complete inventory. Should defects exist or occur during the rental period, the landlord is to be informed of this immediately. The tenant shall be liable for any damage caused by him to the rented property, the inventory and the communal facilities, e.g. broken crockery, damage to the floor or to the furniture. The inventory is to be treated with care and is only intended to remain in the holiday flats. The tenant is also liable for the fault of his fellow travellers. Damage caused by force majeure is excluded from this. In the event of use of the holiday flat contrary to the terms of the contract, such as subletting, overcrowding, disturbance of domestic peace, etc., as well as non-payment of the full rent, the contract may be terminated without notice. The rent already paid remains with the landlord. If liability insurance exists, the damage must be reported to the insurance company. The landlord must be informed of the name and address as well as the insurance number of the insurance company.

§ 5 Stay

The holiday flat may only be used by the persons listed in the booking. Should the flat be used by more persons than agreed, a separate fee is to be paid for these, which is determined in the rental price. In this case, the landlord also has the right to terminate the rental contract without notice. Subletting and transferring the flat to third parties is not permitted. The tenancy agreement may not be passed on to third parties. The tenant agrees to the general terms and conditions of Ferienwohnungen Schwiering as well as the house rules – as far as such belong to the rental object. The declaration of agreement is made with the payment. In the event of violations of the General Terms and Conditions or the house rules, the landlord is entitled to terminate the rental relationship immediately and without notice. There is no legal claim to repayment of the rent or compensation.

§ 6 Cancellation of travel

A necessary withdrawal from the trip must be communicated in writing. When booking a holiday flat for up to 3 weeks, a cancellation free of charge is possible up to 14 days before the date of arrival. When booking a holiday flat for more than 3 weeks, a free cancellation is only possible up to 7 days before the date of arrival. After that we will charge the full amount. Of course, instead of cancelling, you can also nominate another visitor. The cancellation fee will be offset against the deposit. We recommend that you take out travel cancellation insurance.

In the event of cancellation on our part, as a result of force majeure or other unforeseeable circumstances (such as accident or illness of the hosts) as well as other circumstances for which we are not responsible making fulfilment impossible; liability is limited to reimbursement of costs. In the event of justified withdrawal, the customer shall have no claim to compensation – no liability shall be assumed for travel and hotel costs. Withdrawal by the landlord can take place after the start of the rental period without observing a deadline if the tenant disturbs other tenants on a sustained basis despite a warning or behaves in a manner contrary to the contract to such an extent that the immediate cancellation of the rental contract is justified.
