Rental conditions Colina Del Mar
You can make a reservation via the form on our website (email) or by writing to our contact address. Do not forget to mention your identity details, address, booking period as well as the total amount and the amount of the deposit to be paid. Once the reservation has been made, it is binding and you agree to our terms and conditions.
We as the owner-lessor will send you a letter as confirmation of which you 1ex. signed must be returned together with a signed copy of our terms and conditions.
Payment
The reservation will only be converted into a definitive booking once the deposit of 40% of the total rent has been transferred to the bank account of the owner/tenant*.
Bank account: BE79 6787 4218 7033 in the name of Hans Van Gaeveren, Dumortierlaan 5/32, 8300 Knokke.
The balance (60%) of the rent + the deposit must be transferred no later than 6 weeks before the start of your stay.
For “late” bookings/reservations (within 6 weeks of the start of the stay) the total amount (100% rent + deposit) must be paid in full within 8 days after reservation and in any case before the start of the rental period.
Warranty
The deposit serves in the first instance to cover any costs as a result of direct or indirect damage caused to the home or its contents. Furthermore, it can be invoked to settle the consumption of electricity and to cover the landlord’s claims as a result of the tenant’s non-compliance with the rental conditions.
In the event that the deposit proves to be insufficient for the damage suffered or excessive consumption, the landlord can still demand additional compensation from the tenant.
Refunding the deposit does not automatically imply an acknowledgment by the lessor that no damage has been caused to the property. The deposit can at no time be regarded as part of the payment of rent or advance payment thereon. The cleaning service at the end of your rental and the rental of the linen will be deducted from this deposit.
Cancellation by the tenant
As mentioned above, the reservation is binding and the tenant automatically agrees to the general rental conditions.
In case of cancellation within 10 days after the reservation, the tenant owes an administrative fee of 80 euros. The non-payment of the deposit within ten days after the reservation is equated to a cancellation by the tenant.
In the event of cancellation later than 10 days after reservation, but 6 weeks before the start of the rental period, the deposit remains acquired for the landlord and he is free to re-let the property for the period in question. The non-payment of the balance of 60% and the deposit at the latest 6 weeks before the start of the rental period is considered a cancellation by the tenant. In case of cancellation less than 6 weeks before the start of the rental period, the full rent (advance and balance) will remain for the landlord.
Cancellation by the host
If due to unforeseen circumstances the landlord is forced to cancel the reservation earlier than 6 weeks before the start of the rental period, the deposit already paid will be refunded, but without compensation for any damage whatsoever. If the cancellation occurs after 6 weeks before the start of the rental period, the rent and deposit paid will be refunded plus 20% compensation on top of the rental price.
Cleaning of the house + terrain
In any case, the tenant will always leave the house tidy and leave it smudge-free. No dirty dishes are left behind and the washing machine, fridge, and dirt buckets must be empty and tidy on departure. Household waste, glass, and paper must be taken away. The baking tray should be cleaned completely after use. Waste containers are located in the parking lot of Bahia Dorada nr6
An extra cleaning (by a specialized company) will come after your departure to prepare the whole again for the next landlord. This cost must be paid by the departing tenants and will be deducted from the deposit.
