Article 2.
The tenant is obliged to pay a warranty for any damage to the property at least 30 days before the start date of the rental period. This warranty is based on the total rental price and therefore depends on duration and property.

Upon departure, the tenant is obliged to have the accommodation cleaned by Zoute Exclusive (in case of default, the costs will be deducted from the warranty).
