SEASONAL RENTAL AGREEMENT
Between Lou Mas (trade name of the company Mas Amor SARL, Travel Agency with share capital of €8,000, SIRET No. 801 792 193 00022, registered with the Trade and Companies Register of Tarascon and with the Travel Agents Register under number IM031420020) and the client. (Article 68 of the amended Decree of July 20, 1972)
Duration of the rental
The seasonal rental is granted and accepted for the agreed period, with the arrival and departure day and times specified for each property at the time of booking.
Under no circumstances may it be extended except by prior written agreement from Lou Mas.
The tenant may under no circumstances claim any right to remain on the premises at the end of the stay.
Tourist tax
The tenant undertakes to declare the number of adults and children who will occupy the property.
The tenant agrees to pay the amount of the tourist tax indicated before the start of the stay and to make up any additional payment if the rate indicated is changed by the Municipality at the date of the seasonal rental.
Conclusion of the contract
The reservation becomes effective only when the tenant has paid Lou Mas a deposit of 30% of the total rental amount (50% for certain properties).
Payment of this deposit is an essential element of the formation of the contract.
When the reservation is made less than two months before the start of the rental period, the total rental amount must be paid at the time of booking.
The seasonal rental agreed between the parties may not in any case, even partially, benefit third parties, natural or legal persons, without the written consent of Lou Mas.
Any breach of this provision may result in immediate termination of the rental due to the tenant’s fault, the rental amount remaining permanently acquired by the owner.
Security deposit
As security and as a guarantee for any damage that may be caused to the premises, furniture and/or objects furnished in the property, the tenant will pay, before the day of entry into the premises, a sum the amount of which is specified for each house.
This sum, non-interest-bearing, will be returned to the tenant within 14 days from the end of the rental, provided that:
– No furniture, object, or linen is missing, damaged or soiled. Otherwise, restoration or replacement by an identical item must be agreed with the lessor who accepted it.
– The premises have not suffered any damage and have been returned in a clean state (cupboards, bins and refrigerators empty, sanitary facilities, appliances, dishes, etc.).
If this security deposit proves insufficient, the tenant hereby agrees to make up the shortfall.
Failure to pay the security deposit before the day of entry into the premises is a cause for cancellation of the rental due to the tenant’s fault.
Payment schedule
At the time of booking, the tenant pays a deposit corresponding to 30% of the total rent (or 50% depending on the house).
The balance of the rent must be paid by the tenant two months before the start date of the rental period.
If the balance is not paid by that date, the rental will be void, the deposit previously paid will remain acquired by Lou Mas as compensation, and the owner may freely dispose of the property.
If the reservation is made less than two months before the start date of the rental period, 100% of the total rent must be paid by the tenant at the time of booking.
Before the day of entry into the premises, the tenant undertakes, in addition to the deposit and the rent payment mentioned above, to pay the amount of the security deposit provided.
Bank transfers must be made in euros and all bank transfer fees are exclusively the responsibility of the tenant.
Cancellation by the tenant
In the event of cancellation by the tenant, the 30% deposit is non-refundable.
If the CLIENT cancels 60 days or less before the expected arrival date, 100% of the rental amount is due and no refund will be made.
Any cancellation must be made in writing and sent by email.
Cancellation by Lou Mas
In the event of cancellation by Lou Mas, it will refund the tenant all amounts paid as of the date of cancellation.
Arrival and departure
The tenant is welcomed on the scheduled day at the time specified at the time of booking.
In case of a delayed arrival, the tenant agrees to notify the agency.
The properties must be vacated on the scheduled day at the time specified at the time of booking.
The tenant agrees to inform Lou Mas of any early departure.
Capacity
The rental is agreed for a maximum number of persons indicated in the rental contract, including children and babies.
If the number of occupants exceeds the authorized capacity, the contract will be cancelled and all amounts paid will be retained by Lou Mas.
No events or receptions are permitted on the premises.
Pets are not allowed except with prior authorization from Lou Mas.
Any modification or termination of the contract due to non-compliance with the above conditions will be considered to have been initiated by the tenant.
Inventory / condition report
An inventory/condition report will be drawn up jointly upon arrival and departure of the rented premises.
Cleaning of the rented property is the tenant’s responsibility during the rental period and before departure.
The tenant specifically agrees to dispose of all household and personal waste in the containers provided by the municipality.
If the condition of the property at the end of the stay requires additional cleaning costs beyond the usual cleaning fees, this additional cost will be charged to the tenant and deducted from the security deposit.
Insurance
The tenant agrees to be insured with a reputable insurance company against fire and water damage, both for rental risks and for the furniture provided for rent, as well as for neighbor liability and all vacation-related risks.
The tenant is responsible for damages occurring for this reason and for those for which he/she is responsible.
