6. Security Deposit and Renter's Obligations With Regard to the Property.

Allure-Apart requires a Security Deposit for every rental. The Guest will be held responsible for any damages to the Property that occur during the Rental Period. At the end of the Rental Period, the Property will be examined by the Greeter upon check-out and again in detail during the cleaning at the end of the Rental Period, before subsequent renters occupy the Property. The Guest acknowledges that in certain cases, damage may be overlooked by the Greeter and subsequently found by the Cleaner. Any damages, whether noted by the Greeter or Cleaner, will be evidenced by proper documentation, including photographs where possible. Any damages to the Property caused during the Rental Period will be deducted from the Security Deposit. Allure-Apart agrees to notify the Guest as soon as any damages are reported by the Greeter or the Cleaner, and to present a bill for any charges relating to damages incurred, if applicable.

If the Guest notices any damages to the property upon check-in, the Guest is responsible for notifying Allure-Apart and/or the Greeter within 24 hours of the beginning of the Rental Period or the Guest may be held liable for such damages.


The Security Deposit can be provided in the form of a Credit Card Authorization Form, Wire, or payment platform deposit. The amount of Security Deposit varies according to the Property and is specified on the Rental Agreement accepted by the Guest.

Credit Card Authorization Form. This form must be completed by the Guest and returned to Allure-Apart via email one (1) month prior to the Rental Period.


Security Deposits will be refunded to the Guest two (2) weeks after the end of the Rental Period. If damages exceed the amount of the Security Deposit, the Guest is liable for the full cost of any reported damages.


Allure-Apart reserves the right to retain the Security Deposit until the Property has been verified both by the Greeter and the Cleaner

Allure-Apart reserves the right to charge the Guest’s credit card or reserve funds from the Security Deposit for any damage caused during the Rental Period immediately after informing the client of the damage.


The Guest shall keep and maintain the Property in clean and secure condition during the Rental Period. The Guest must leave the Property in the same condition as it was found upon arrival. It is understood, and agreed, that the Security Deposit shall be used to cover the cost of any damage to, or loss of contents of, the Property and the building of which the Property is a part.


In the event that the costs of cleaning, repair, and/or replacement exceed the Security Deposit, the Guest shall pay the balance due via credit card, check or wire transfer no later than five (5) business days following notice by Allure-Apart.


If the Greeter is required to make an in-person visit to the property due to a fault of the Guest, the cost of the intervention, including compensation for the Greeter’s time spent resolving the issue, will be charged to the Guest. The Guest will also be held responsible for the cost of any technical intervention (whether deemed necessary by Allure-Apart or the Greeter, or whether requested by the Guest) if the reason for the intervention is caused directly or indirectly by the Guest. The cost of the intervention may also include compensation for the Greeter’s time spent resolving the issue.


The Guest agrees to inform the Greeter, Allure-Apart, or Allure-Apart’s Representative immediately of any damage that occurs on the Property during the Rental Period. 

7. Occupancy


The Guest agrees that the number of people occupying the Property at one time will not exceed the maximum occupancy rate indicated for the Property, unless specifically authorized by Allure-Apart. Allure-Apart will not be held liable for any issues arising from occupation of the Property by more persons than allowed by the Property’s maximum occupancy rate. The occupancy rate also includes children at any age.


Group size is determined at time of reservation. If upon arrival, the number of guests exceeds the number specified on the rental agreement, Allure-Apart is entitled to refuse access to the rental, for legal and security reasons. If the exceeding number of guests is within the capacity of the rental, extra payment must be made before accessing the Property. If the extra number is beyond the capacity of the Property, access will be denied, Allure-Apart voids the contract and retains the rental amount.


If the Guest would like to invite additional guests to stay in the Property during the Rental Period, the Renter must notify Allure-Apart, and pay any applicable extra fees.

Pets or animals of any kind (dogs, cats, birds, etc.), including service animals, are NOT permitted inside the Property at any time without prior consent from Allure-Apart. Failure to comply may result in forfeiting the security deposit or incur additional fees, wholly at the Guest's expense. Failure to comply with this may also be grounds for termination of the contract with Guest being asked to leave. No fees will be refunded for any remaining days of stay.

The Guest will personally occupy the Property for said dates and shall not sub-let the Property under any condition.


The Guest will not hold any group gathering or event in the Property for which the number of attendees would exceed the Property’s maximum occupancy, excepting events previously approved by Allure-Apart when applicable.

Commercial purposes include, but are not limited to: professional appointments, meetings, gatherings, showrooms, product display or demonstrations, picture or video/movie shootings.  

Guest understands and agrees that the tranquility of the other residents of the building is of the utmost importance. Guest(s) shall be quiet and respectful of neighbors at all times and shall refrain from any excessive noise in the Property or common areas including, but not limited to, stairwells, elevators, courtyards, or building entry. Between 10pm and 7am, Guest agrees to be especially quiet and, in particular but not by way of limitation, to keep voices low and refrain from playing music. Guest understands and agrees that, should there be any complaint from a neighbor for late-night disturbance, Guest's right to occupy the Property shall terminate immediately without any form of compensation and Renter shall be subjected to a minimum €1,000 penalty.
