The tenant can not carry out any form of commercial, artistic or professional activity therein. In the confirmation process, the renter is required to sign and return the contract to 46cityrent. This document must be accompanied by a 35% deposit as stipulated in the contract.

This safety deposit will be used in the event of any damage caused by the renter to the property. The sums corresponding to the rent, general tax (annual tax, holiday tax etc), as well as any extra eventual fees, and the safety deposit, defined in the rental contract, will not gather interest nor can it be considered as payment of rent. It will be refunded after deduction of any necessary sum due to damage to the property.

Apartment housekeeping

All apartments are cleaned prior to the renter’s arrival. We require you to keep the apartment or show room tidy and at the end of your stay, to leave the space in the same state that you found it in.
The necessary housekeeping will be done after each departure and charged to the renter at the current market rate. For stays over one month, 46cityrent reserves the right to check the state of the apartment. If the apartment is not kept in order, 46cityrent reserves the right to have the apartment cleaned and will deduct the cost from the safety deposit.

Price

The minimum charged stay is three nights. For a stay less than three nights, please contact us. Apartments must not be occupied by more than the number of people indicated in the apartment description, unless 46cityrent has given its exceptional agreement. Should this occur, 46cityrent has the right to demand a supplementary fee, or has the option to refuse access to the property. In case of non compliance with these conditions, 46cityrent reserves the right to retain a fee equal to that of the safety deposit. In case of damages caused by the tenant and if the apartment can not be re-rented immediately, the price of the nights when the apartment is unavailable for rent will be charged to the client and deducted from the safety deposit.

Payment

The rent and fees (extra costs) must be paid in accordance with the agreed terms: at the latest when keys are handed over, or on the first day of the month, for stays of more than three months. The handing over of keys can only be done if the totality of the stay is paid. If the delay in rent payment goes beyond 5 days, a penalty will be applied.
