In the case of a last minute booking (less than one month before the start date of the stay), the total rental amount (deposit + balance) must be paid by the Tenant at the time of said reservation.

5. SECURITY DEPOSIT
A security deposit, the amount of which is defined in the property description and included in the rental contract transmitted by the agency VALLAT Rentals, must be paid by the Tenant upon delivery of the keys of the rented property.

In addition a lump sum, the amount of which is defined in the rental, may be retained by the lessor in the event that the leased property is rendered in a state of non-cleanliness that would necessitate additional cleaning services. Any object lost, broken or damaged must be replaced or refunded to the Lessor at its replacement value by the Tenant who obliges.
This security deposit, non-interest-bearing, can in no way be considered as payment of part of the rent.
After return of the keys, in the absence of degradation noted in the state of property on exit contradictorily established by the parties, the deposit will be returned, with the deduction for the repairs and other costs of possible restoration, cleaning and / or the amount of consumption, no later than 15 days after the departure of the Tenant.
