Security Deposits

A Security Deposit is payable directly to the owner/caretaker of some properties. This deposit is held by the owner/caretaker to cover any losses, damage and additional cleaning charges, if the property is left in an unsatisfactory condition.

The cost of fuel or extra electricity, not previously paid for, may be deducted from this deposit.

The Security Deposit is paid by cheque to the owner/caretaker of the property two weeks before the start of the holiday. Your cheque will normally be cashed and a personal cheque for the refund sent within two weeks of the end of your holiday. Any dispute about deductions from the Security Deposit made by the owner/caretaker must be taken up directly with them.
