Booking
Booking should be verbally agreed and also confirmed in writing. This is, in every case, binding for the tenant. Upon booking the tenant acknowledges the terms and conditions of lease. The booking is binding the lessor when he has given written confirmation.
Payment
Upon booking a deposit of 20% must be paid within 14 days of booking. The outstanding sum is to be paid at least 30 days before the start of the lease. The specified period for the payment is decided according to the date of receipt of payment in the bank account of the lessor.
The payment corresponds to that stated in the internet pages including price list The cost of final cleaning is charged in addition to rent, as is electricity and central heating, according to consumption. Use of telephone is charged per unit.
The apartments may only be occupied by the specified number of persons, or that expressed in writing by the lessor. Children under two years are not included in the total amount of tenants It is within the rights of the lessor to evict excess persons at his discretion and to demand compensation from the tenant. If upon commencement of payment of rent, the tenant arrears, the lessor can refuse provision of the property until full payment has been made, without losing his right to claim the full payment of the rent.
Cancellation
Should the tenant cancel the booking, a cancellation fee must be paid. Cancellation 90 days before commencement of lease incurs a fee of 2 0% of the rent price, 89-60 days incurs a fee of 50% of the rent price and thereafter the full rent price is payable. Should it be possible to re-rent the for the given dates then the fee will just be 10% of the full rent price.
The lessor may only cancel the lease after the affirmative confirmation that the tenant has exceeded the date due for payment and as long as the outstanding contract has not been accredited to the account. Therefore in the event of cancellation by the lessor he is within his rights to demand a  cancellation fee of 20% of the rent price from the tenant.
Liability
The tenant agrees to observe these terms and conditions of lease, to look after the property, keep it clean and treat it and its contents with consideration. The tenant agrees not to remove temporary or larger, permanent items from the property or to take items to other holiday apartments. The tenant is liable for compliance with the terms and conditions of lease and for damage to the property or its contents, which occurs during the period of lease and the fault of the tenants or visitors.
Damage
The holiday home and the appliances provided are regularly serviced and checked. Should, however, furniture or technical appliances in the property be damaged, defective or not function, the tenant has a responsibility to inform the leaser immediately so that the damage can be repaired quickly.
Should the damage be caused as a result of mismanagement or mishandling by the tenants or visitors, the leaser is within his rights to charge costs to the tenant. This also applies to call-out charges made or incurred by the lessor in employing personal to rectify the damage.
Duration of the Lease
The apartment is available from 15:00 on the date of arrival. Arrival after 17:00 is possible upon prior arrangement with the lessor, in order that the property can be handed over. On the day of departure the apartment should be vacated by 10:00 to be handed over to the lessor, where upon cleaning costs, electricity, heating and telephone costs are to be settled. Upon vacation of the property, the apartment and its contents should be returned to the lessor in an orderly and tidy state. If this is not the case, the lessor is well within his rights to demand extra costs for bringing the property into an orderly state, for necessary renovation and for increased cleaning costs.
Severe Damage or Destruction
In the event of destruction of the property, severe damage or other special circumstances which make the property uninhabitable the tenant may terminate the contract of leave. Should this occur, the lessor must inform the tenant immediately, whereupon the tenant will receive a full refund.
Final Stipulations
The eventual nullity of certain conditions of lease does not effect the remaining regulations. Should  additional agreements be made between lessor and tenant which differ from the conditions of lease, the other regulations remain unchanged. Should arguments arise, the Court of Jurisdiction for both parties is Lüneburg.
