Article 4 – Obligations of the tenant, Arrival and duration of the rental
Unless otherwise stated in the contract, the entry in the premises will be made after 16H00 on the first day of rental, and the exit before 10H00 on the last day of rental.

The tenant will not be able under any circumstances to prevail himself of any right to the maintenance in the places at the end of the stay envisaged in the rental agreement.
Capacity : The proposed places are correctly equipped for the accommodation on the one hand and the reception on the other hand of a maximum number of people specified in the description of the accommodation or in the rental agreement. Unless expressly authorized by the owner, the tenant agrees to respect these limits of reception and accommodation for the safety of all and the good maintenance of the premises. If the number of occupants exceeds the capacity of the accommodation, the owner is entitled to refuse the additional persons or to ask for the payment of an additional sum.

Pets : Unless otherwise specified in the contract, pets are not accepted in the accommodation, and the stay of these pets will be refused by the owner. In case of refusal of the owner to welcome certain pets on the premises of the accommodation, this refusal can in no case be considered as a modification or a breach of contract at the initiative of the owner, so that in case of departure of the tenant, no refund can be considered.
Respect of the premises: The tenant is required to use the accommodation as if it was his own and to use the premises peacefully, without creating any disturbance to the neighborhood.

However, if the repairs last for more than 21 days, the rental price must be reduced in proportion to the time and part of the dwelling that the tenant is deprived of.

The owner must then provide the tenant with proof of the amounts withheld from the security deposit.
