The accommodation will be handed over cleanly and in a proper situation. A visitation of the accommodation before move-in allows the guest to assure himself of the flats state. The move-in follows not until the remaining amount has been paid.

The security deposit has to be paid cash at the hand-over of keys or transferred not later than the start of rental to the given banking account. In case that neither the rental object nor furniture or the common property was damaged, the security deposit will be paid back completely to the tenant. In case that the total sum of the caused damages exceed the paid security deposit, the tenant has to pay for the remaining costs.
