Terms and conditions valid for the guarantee deposit requested
for medium and long periods and paid for single or shared
rooms in flats or houses to share, economic studio flats,
economic 1 and 2-bedroom flats and home stays. |
| The
customer is informed that the guarantee deposit must be
paid at the moment of the booking for stays of medium or
long periods. This deposit corresponds to 2 weeks up to
1 month rent, and it is requested to GUARANTEE the flat
or house owned against possible damages or thefts. The customer
is informed that the guarantee deposit cannot be used to
pay the rent and it cannot be used to pay the last two weeks
or month rent before leaving the accommodation. The total
amount of the guarantee deposit together with the first
week(s) rent paid at the moment of booking is paid by Uk
London Services Ltd and Uk London Accommodation Ltd directly
to the Owner, the Landlord or the Manager of the flat or
house rented. The guarantee deposit paid for any accommodation
will be refunded by the Owner, the Landlord or the Manager
of the accommodation itself after the customer's departure.
The guarantee deposit is given back by the Owner, the Landlord
or the Manager of the accommodation within one month of
the customer's departure from the accommodation itself and
is paid by cheque or bank transfer according to the type
of letting or holiday contract signed on the day of arrival
with the Owner, the Landlord or the Manager. Normally the
deposit is given back after one month by the Owner, the
Landlord or the Manager of the accommodation booked because
the Owner, the Landlord or the Manager need to be able to
work out the expenses for repairing or cleaning works and
deduct them from the deposit, when this is the case. Especially
for this reason the customer is informed that he/she must
not damage the room or the apartment or house rented and
make sure to leave it in the same conditions as it was at
his/her arrival. The tenant has to be aware of the fact
that for the accommodations located in London Bridge, Bermondsey,
New Cross, New Cross Gate, Hither Green, Brockley, Bromley
and Grove Park no notice of leaving the property needs to
be given since the contract is fixed and the departure date
is stated in the contract itself. As far as these accommodations
are concerned, the guarantee deposit is given back by the
Owner, the Landlord or the Manager of the property within
one month from the customer's departure. In the case of
all other single or shared rooms in flats or houses to share
apart from those in the locations mentioned above, as well
as in the case of economic studio flats, economic 1 and
2-bedroom flats and home stays, the customer must give 2
weeks notice (14 days) directly to the Owner, Landlord or
Manager of the accommodation. Uk London Services Ltd and
Uk London Accommodation Ltd are not responsible if the customer
does not inform the Owner, Landlord or Manager of the accommodation
of his/her departure date and therefore Uk London Services
Ltd and Uk London Accommodation are not responsible if the
Owner, Landlord or Manager keeps the customer's guarantee
deposit. The customer is informed that in the accommodations
located in London Bridge, Bermondsey, New Cross, New Cross
Gate, Hither Green, Brockley, Bromley and Grove Park he/she
has to sign a contract for a fixed period of time (i.e.
with a commencement date and a termination date). If the
customer leaves the accommodation before the contract's
termination date he/she has to be aware of the fact that
he/she will lose his/her entire guarantee deposit, meaning
that the Owner, Landlord or Manager of the accommodation
will keep the guarantee deposit. That is why Uk London Services
Ltd and Uk London Accommodation Ltd strongly advise their
customers to abide the terms of the contract during their
stay. |
| The
customer is informed that the guarantee deposit relative
to home stays will only be refunded after the customer's
departure by Uk London Services Ltd and Uk London Accommodation
Ltd (during the office opening times) that will check the
state of the room together with the family. |
