conditions

the premises may be leased either on a month to month basis (long lease), or for a set number of days (ad-hoc rental). having learnt it the hard way, we must impose on our tenants the following conditions:

  • a security deposit is required
  • a cleaning fee may be applied - should the flat, after the rental period, be left in a condition that justifies this. the cleaning fee shall be subtracted from the security deposit
  • settling of rental fees is to be done in advance. with long lease this is generally till the 4th of the month
  • the premises shall not be occupied by any person other than the tenant(s)
  • no subletting of the premises, or any part thereof is allowed
  • in the case of long lease the tenant shall pay for all utilities and/or services supplied to the premises a monthly flat rate set by the landlord
  • all fees are included with ad-hoc rental
  • it follows that the tenant is to keep the premises in a neat and sanitary condition and to immediately reimburse landlord for any sums necessary to repair any item, fixture or appurtenance that needed service due to the tenant's, or tenant's invitee, misuse or negligence said sums shall be subtracted from the security deposit
