Landlords - Terms & Conditions

Landlords Terms And Conditions for ‘Within-France’. We specialise in the Charente Maritime area of France.

Our reputation depends upon the high standards of holiday and long term rental properties that we are able to offer to our clients.

BOOKING PROCEDURE AND PAYMENT

As part of the Landlords Terms And Conditions your holiday rental property will be offered as part of a hand-picked selection that meet the requirements detailed by our clients. If your property is selected we will confirm availability with you and as soon as we receive a confirmed booking, we will notify you and upon signing our rental agreement a deposit of 25% of the total accommodation value agreed between us will be paid to you. The balance of 75% will be paid to you two days after commencement of the booking. These payments will be paid either in cash or directly into a bank account in France or the UK.

In respect of a long term rental, a deposit equivalent to 2 months rent plus 1 month rent in advance will be payable by the client on signing the tenancy agreement. The deposit is refundable at the end of the tenancy period subject to any agreed deductions for breakages. Within France will retain their placing fee equivalent to 1 months rent at this time.

Please note that under the Landlords Terms And Conditions you agree that once a booking has been accepted by you, it cannot under any circumstances be cancelled.

ACCOMMODATION MANAGEMENT

Maintenance and cleaning form part of the Landlords Terms And Conditions and are entirely the responsibility of the owner. It is also a requirement of Within France, Landlords Terms And Conditions for holiday lets, that a 'Welcome Pack' be made available on arrival of each new client, to include a starter pack of:
tea, coffee, sugar, milk, fruit juice, bottled water, bread, butter, jam, marmalade, and cereal.

In respect of our clients staying in holiday lets, should any problems be experienced by the clients during their stay, we will contact you to resolve the issue. If we are unable to contact you within a reasonable time scale to resolve the problem and Within France resolve the issue on your behalf, a charge will be incurred as agreed and all resulting expenses will be payable immediately.
