VILLA RENTAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Villa rental terms and conditions

These terms and conditions are binding to both parties when the customer has made a reservation. These terms and conditions apply to villa bookings made by private customers through Lehmonkärki’s sales service (reception, telephone or e-mail). The person reserving a villa must be in full power.

Booking from the sales service

When the customer has made a reservation at the sales service, the customer will receive a booking confirmation by e-mail with directions to the accommodation and information on handing over the key.

Terms of payment

We will send the invoice to the customer in advance by e-mail. Invoices for high seasons such as summer weekly and Christmas bookings will be sent approximately two months before the start of the booking. Due date is 28 days before the start of the booking.

For off-season bookings, the invoice will be sent immediately upon confirmation of the booking.

  • If there are more than two weeks before the start of the booking period, the invoice is due 14 days before the booking.
  • If the booking is made 14-7 days before the start of the booking or later, the invoice will be due 7 days before the booking.
  • If the booking is made 7 days or less before the start of the booking, the invoice will be due on the first day of the booking.
  • Payment for bookings starting within the same day can be made on the spot at Lehmonkärki by cash or payment card.

All comments related to the invoice must be made within 7 days of the invoice date. A reference number must be used for payment. Failure to pay is not a cancellation!

Lehmonkärki has the right to cancel the reservation if the payment has not been made by the due date.

Cancellations

A cancellation must ALWAYS be sent in writing to Lehmonkärki (e-mail or a letter).
If the customer cancels the reservation:

  • 28 days before the start of the rental period, the villa rental will be refunded less a cancellation fee of 50 euros.
  • later than 28 days before the start of the rental period, 50% of the villa rent will be charged
  • later than 14 days before the start of the rental period, the full rent will be charged

A cancellation is considered valid as of the moment the cancellation has arrived at Lehmonkärki. If the customer can prove that a cancellation has been made and sent to the correct address at the correct time, the cancellation will be approved even if it were late or did not arrive at all.

Cancellations due to illness

If the booking is cancelled later than 14 days before the start of the rental period due to the customer (the booker) or his / her immediate family suddenly falling ill, having an accident or dying, the customer is charged 50 % of the villa rent. In this context, immediate family means the booker and his/her spouse and their parents or children (does not apply if a pet gets sick). In the case of a non-relative, such as a guest or party member invited to the party, 100 % of the villa rent is charged if the booking is cancelled. Cancellations must be made before the start of the rental period. If cancelled up to 12 hours before date of arrival, no fee will be charged.

We recommend travel insurance to our customers for possible exceptional situations and cases

Lehmonkärki’s right to cancel a reservation

In case of a force majeure event or an impediment which Lehmonkärki cannot influence (such as a fire or water damage), Lehmonkärki has the right to cancel the reservation. In such a case, the customer has the right to receive the entire rent paid. If payments for the reservation are not paid by the due date, Lehmonkärki has the right to cancel the reservation.

Transferring a reservation

It is possible to transfer the reservation 14 days before the start of the rental period by paying a transfer fee of 75 euros within a month to a new date. If the reservation is for some of the following dates, 20.12. – 4.1.; 1.6. – 31.8. and Easter, transfer is not possible. The transfer cannot be applied to the above-mentioned dates either. A transfer made later than 14 days before the start of the reservation is treated as a new reservation.

Handing over key

The key can be collected by showing a receipt of the payment. The key to the holiday site will be handed over to the client or a person authorised by the client before the start of the rental period on an estimated arrival time specified by the customer over the phone. The person handing over the key has the right to charge expenses due to a lost key (such as reserialising locks and replacing keys). The keys must be left on the kitchen table of the villa when leaving.

Lehmonkärki is not liable to compensate for any deficiencies or errors reported after the rental period.

The customer must clean the villa during their holiday and when leaving, unless agreed to the contrary (by e-mail). By cleaning we mean bringing the garbage away into garbage containers outside the villa, washing the dishes with dishwasher and removing the visible stains (coffee, juice etc) from the floors and other surfaces.

The temperature of the outdoor pool may be cool (32-37 ° C) on the day of arrival due to the water change. We do not recommend using the whirlpool function if the pool water feels cool as it will further cool the water temperature. The use of the whirlpool function should be limited in cold weather.
