The number of persons permitted to occupy the apartment is limited to the number of max persons as stated on shortstayreservations.com and this limit may not be exceeded without prior written approval from the Local Apartment Provider. The Local Apartment Operator reserves the right to refuse admittance to the apartment if this condition is not met.

Any damage must be reported to the Local Apartment Operator without delay.

Fair Use
You and your party agree to be considerate tenants and will take good care of the apartment(s) and leave the apartment(s) in a clean and tidy condition at the end of the rental period. You and your party also agree not to act in any way, which would cause disturbance to those residents in neighboring properties.

Force Majeure

All property rentals on this site are subject to the local laws and legal conventions of the country the Local Apartment Operator origins from.

Such laws may change without notice. In the event that new or existing laws governing the short-term rental of properties, which may have an adverse effect on such rentals (including, but not limited to prohibition of such rentals), come into effect, the Local Apartment Operator will endeavor to relocate any pending arriving parties in alternative accommodation (to a similar standard).

In the event that relocation is not possible, or undesired, the Local Apartment Operator will refund any monies paid for affected accommodation booked through our booking agent.

The Local Apartment Operator will not accept responsibility for the enforcement, amendment or introduction of such laws, and no compensation (beyond refunding of deposits) will be entertained.
