HOME CONTENTS Clause Samples

HOME CONTENTS. Furnishings are subject to change without notice. Furniture, bedding, bath towels, kitchen equipment, utensils or any other property supplied with the rental property must not be moved or taken out of the property. Loss of these items, as well as damage to the property or furnishings in excess of normal wear will be charged to you. If there are stains on the linen, the linen will be replaced and the costs will be subtracted from the deposit. The following substances are likely to leave stains on linen (this may not be a full and complete list): Blood, mascara, make-up foundation, self- tanning or quick tanning lotion, and suntan oils. Each property is inspected by the agent at the conclusion of your stay. All contents of the home are the property of the owner. If something should break, you must notify the agent immediately so that a replacement can be arranged. Guests are not permitted to alter the wiring of any television or home theatre equipment. Equipment and facilities are provided at the discretion of the owner and whilst every attempt is made to ensure that such equipment is in working order for the duration of the rental period, should a breakdown or some other situation occur that renders any non-essential appliance unusable, the owner does not take responsibility for replacing or refunding the guest for the lack of use of this equipment. The equipment and facilities referred to include (but are not exclusive to) such items as televisions, DSTV decoders and home theatre equipment. The guest must report any inoperative or defective equipment to the agent promptly. The agent will make every reasonable effort to have repairs made as soon as possible. While every attempt will be made to ensure that all the advertised equipment and appliances are in working order at the commencement of a rental period, no reduction of rent; rebate; or refund will be issued for a mechanical failure of the dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, TV or other appliances. The owner is not liable, nor will provide a refund, for any stoppage of electrical services caused by extreme weather, load shedding by Eskom or other circumstances beyond his control. Similarly, there will be no refunds for inclement weather, conditions at neighbouring properties, or any nuisance afforded by the natural elements of the location such as flying insects or the animal population.
