Terms and Conditions for Private Holiday Rental Villas and Apartments in Spain.

 

1. Background

Clients applying to hire property are referred to as 'the Applicants' until such time as they take up residence when they are referred to as 'the Tenants'. Villa de Suenos, 'the Letting Agents', act only as agents for the owners of the property, 'the Owners'. Therefore any contract is between the Owners of the property on one part and the Applicants or Tenants on the other. The name and address of the owner of any villa can be provided on request.

2. Deposit

If a booking is made eight weeks or more before the tenancy is due to start, a deposit of 30% of the rent must accompany it. If a booking is made less than eight weeks before the tenancy is due to start, the full rent, plus any additional charges, must be paid at the time of booking. In the event of a booking not being accepted for whatever reason by the Lettings Agents all fees paid will be refunded immediately to the Applicant.

 

3. Final Payment

Once the booking is received and accepted by the Letting Agents, the Applicants are liable for payment of the balance of rent six weeks before the start of the tenancy. Non-payment by the due date “may” be treated as a cancellation. If the booking is cancelled, the deposit is non-refundable. Please note that the Letting Agents do not send reminders - the balance due date is shown on the Booking Confirmation


4. Altering a Booking

Once a booking has been accepted by the Letting Agents the booking can only be changed to another villa providing the villa is available for the new dates and the Owners are agreeable to the change.
