The Guest is personally liable for damages caused by himself, fellow residents, pets or visitors and is obliged to report all damages or defects, which occur during the rental period, to the Proprietor or ALPEN APARTMENTS without delay.

A security deposit of between €100,00 to €150,00 is payable upon occupation of the holiday accommodation. This deposit is to be paid in cash, and will be refunded on departure once the object has been inspected by the Proprietor or ALPEN APARTMENTS and found in a satisfactory condition.
