Any modification by the tenant to the destination or use of the property is not allowed. 3.2 It is not allowed to occupy the property with more than the stated maximum number of persons.

When leaving the property, the house must be returned in a clean state to be delivered. For final cleaning, we assume that you put everything back in its place before departure if necessary, the dishes are done and all used household appliances and plumbing is cleaned and you leave the beds as you found them. The rented bed linen has to be collected in the entrance hall before departure. Failure to comply with these conditions may result in additional cleaning charges.

5. Payment and conditions
5.1 A reservation is made by email or in writing and after a confirmation email from “Land van Engelingen”. 5.2 The rental price is mentioned on the page “Rates”. Before a booking becomes definite, 50% of the rent has to be paid. The remainder of the rent must be paid at least 6 weeks before the property is put into use. 5.3 The landlord’s obligation to provide access to the property is postponed until the rent has been paid in full, and the signed lease is in possession of both parties. 5.4 In case of late payment, the tenant is in default. The landlord shall notify him of this in writing. He then still can pay the amount due within 7 days. If payment is still not made, the lease is canceled on the day of the default. The prepaid amount of 50% is then considered as cancellation costs. 5.5 If the tenancy agreement within 6 weeks before the day of commencement is established, the entire rent must be paid immediately. 5.6 The landlord reserves the right to terminate the agreement due to important circumstances. In that case, the tenant will be informed as soon as possible of the cancellation of the lease and will be refunded the rent already paid within two weeks after cancellation.

In the absence of payment, the agreement on the effective date will be regarded as dissolved. The deposit is entirely separate from the rent to be paid. 8.3 If both tenants and landlords agree after the rental period, this deposit can be used to settle for the consumption costs and any shortcomings. See also ‘Rental Instructions’. 8.4 The landlord will refund this deposit (possibly less all consumption costs) within 4 weeks after the rental period if no damage has been done.
