What happens with the security deposit?

After you left, the owner will check: 

        1. if there are damages 
        2. the consumption of water and electricity 
        3. the cleanliness, if you chose to clean by yourself

        Are the 3 aforementioned items fine?

        The owner will then reimburse the entire security deposit within 10 days. 
 
        Are there damages? Did you exceed the quantity of water and electricity?
        Did you leave the house without cleaning, although you promised to do?
 

        Then the owner calculates the costs. Your security deposit less the costs will be reimbursed. 
        Does the cost exceed the security deposit? Then you have to pay the extra costs. 

If owner and tenant disagree, only the court of Ieper has jurisdiction. 


I booked, but I can’t come. What do I have to do? 

Can’t you come due to force majeure? For example due to a pandemic: 

your entire deposit will be reimbursed. 

Can’t you come due to another reason?
 

     • Do you notify at least 60 days before arrival? 50% of your deposit will be reimbursed 
     • Do you notify later? 50% of your deposit will be reimbursed, if owner can re-let. 
     • Don’t you come at all and didn’t you notify? 
       The owner keeps the deposit and can immediately re-let to others. 

 
What if… 
…I want to invite someone?            Ask permission to the owner in advance.
