Use of rented premises
The rented premises are intended for family use. Subletting is prohibited. The Tenant agrees to respect the rented premises (including the exterior) and to return them in their original condition. Use of the premises is a matter of common sense. In short, make yourself at home and do not do anything you would not do at home. The Tenant agrees to ensure that the peace and quiet of the neighborhood is not disturbed by their actions or those of their companions. Any minor must remain under the constant supervision of an adult.
Ability
This contract is established for a maximum capacity of people (including babies) whether during the day, in the evening or in accommodation. If the number of tenants exceeds the capacity, or exceeds the number agreed in the contract, the owner may refuse the additional people or will be entitled to increase the amount of the rent. In addition, it is not permitted to receive people other than those mentioned in the contract without the prior agreement of the owner.
Length of stay
The tenant signing this contract concluded for a fixed period may not under any circumstances claim any right to remain in the premises at the end of the stay.
In the event of unauthorized exceeding of the rental period, an amount of €20 will be charged to the Tenant per additional hour of occupation of the rented premises.
If you have to leave the premises before the scheduled date, this early departure will not give rise to any reimbursement.
Regulations, instructions
- Entry to the premises is scheduled from 4 p.m.
- Departure from the gîte , tidy and cleaned (see checklist depending on the option chosen), takes place no later than 10 a.m.
- The gîtes are NON-SMOKING, ashtrays are available outside the gîtes.
- Many animals in (semi) freedom are present at the Estate (ornamental chickens, roosters, peacocks, cats, etc.). We cannot therefore accept your dogs/cats and other animals without cages. NO EXCEPTIONS ARE POSSIBLE ON THIS POINT. However, we can recommend a nearby boarding house if necessary.
- The tenant may not oppose the visit of the premises, when the owner or his representative requests it.
Inventory and inventory of fixtures
We have chosen to be trustworthy by not requiring a detailed inventory and inspection upon arrival and departure. We consider all facilities to be in working order and any complaints regarding them arising more than 24 hours after taking possession of the premises will not be accepted. Repairs made necessary by negligence or poor maintenance during the rental period will be the responsibility of the tenant.
Security deposit
The Tenant will pay the Landlord:
- a security deposit of €2,000 for the Grand Balazin gîte (+reception room if chosen), €800 for Lou Pitchoun and Le petit Balazin.
The security deposit must be paid no later than the date of entry into the rented premises. The security deposit is intended to cover any repairs or restoration that may be necessary following the Tenant's departure: The cost of cleaning, the total value at the replacement price of objects, furniture or equipment that are broken, cracked, chipped or damaged and those whose wear exceeds normal for the duration of the rental, the cost of cleaning dirty blankets, compensation for damage of any kind to curtains, wallpaper, walls, woodwork, ceilings, carpets, rugs, windows, bedding, etc.
The security deposit will either be returned by post or destroyed with a supporting photo within 8 days of departure if no damage is noted during the exit inventory or cleaning after your departure.
Therefore, NO SECURITY DEPOSIT WILL BE RETURNED ON THE DAY OF DEPARTURE.
Otherwise, the balance of the security deposit will be returned to the Tenant, less the cost of restoration, within a maximum of 2 months after the departure date. The amount of the restoration will be determined amicably between the Landlord and the Tenant. In the event of disagreement, a repair estimate will be drawn up by a professional or other authorized organization chosen by the Lessor and independent of the latter. The Tenant agrees to pay the surplus if the repair costs were higher than the security deposit.
Please note: Cleaning will be considered complete or not at all; there will be no discount on the rate. A checklist is posted to help you organize your cleaning.

Free WiFi internet access can be provided to tenants in the Le Grand Balazin and La Villa gîtes, subject to the connection limits available in our countryside area.

The tenant undertakes not to transmit on the internet any data during his stay that is prohibited, illicit, illegal, contrary to good morals or public order and that infringes or is likely to infringe the rights of third parties, in particular intellectual, literary or artistic property rights. In the event of fraudulent internet use (downloads, etc.), the tenant acknowledges that he is aware that his contact details will be handed over to the police.

- of the tenant:
a) Cancellation before arrival: Any cancellation must be notified by registered letter to the owner.

If the tenant does not respond within 24 hours of the arrival date indicated on the contract, this contract becomes null and void and the owner may dispose of the accommodation. The deposit remains the property of the owner who will also request, if it has not been paid, the balance of the rental.
b) if the stay is shortened, the rental price remains with the owner. No refund will be made.

Failure to insure, in the event of a claim, will give rise to damages.
