Agreements made regarding the provision of apartments are subject to the following terms and conditions of City West Apartments (hereinafter referred to as "landlords").

1. Provision
Reserved apartments are available to the tenant from 15.00 clock and must be vacated by 11 clock on the departure day.
The contracting party does not acquire the right to provision of certain apartments. If agreed apartments are not available, the landlord is obliged to seek equivalent replacement in the home or in other properties.
2. Duration of the lease
Unless otherwise agreed, a minimum rental period of 1 month applies. The maximum rental period is basically 6 months. A further accommodation beyond 6 months requires an arrangement with the landlord and corresponding availability of the living space and a new lease has to be concluded. There is no entitlement to accommodation for a period of 6 months.
3. PricesThe excellent prices (monthly rentals) are inclusive prices and include the legal value added tax and all incidental costs. These include u.a. the cost of insurance, cleaning, garbage collection, water, electricity and internet.
If the period between the conclusion of the contract and the provision of services exceeds 180 days, the lessor reserves the right to make price changes without prior notice. Changes to the proportionate VAT rate shall be charged to the client regardless of the time of the conclusion of the contract. All price awards and agreements are in euros. If foreign currencies are mentioned, then only for non-binding orientation as the basis of the exchange rate valid at the time of publication.
4. Payment
In order for the rental agreement to come about, the renter must have transferred the first month's rent and a deposit (1 month's rent) to the landlord's bank account 4 days after receipt of the rental agreement. If this does not happen, the tenant's claim for the booked apartment will expire and the lease expires. Subsequent monthly rentals must be transferred to the landlord's bank account no later than 3 working days to the end of the month. Follow-up rentals can also be paid 3 working days to the end of the month, by prior arrangement with the landlord, in cash, by credit card (American Express, Mastercard, Visa) or by EC / Maestro Card.
5. Cancellation conditions
In case of a cancellation up to 4 weeks before arrival no cancellation fees will be charged, for cancellations that will be made later, always a complete monthly rent will be charged as a cancellation fee. The landlord tries after a cancellation by the tenant to convey the apartment to the best of his conscience in order to keep down the costs in the interest of the tenant and to reimburse part of the costs in the event of success. However, this does not give rise to a claim. Already paid monthly rents over a period of more than 1 month have been made and the deposit will be fully refunded.
As the tenant always has to pay at least 1 month rent in advance, he has in principle 1 month entitlement to the booked apartment.
6. Resignation of the landlord
