13. Applicable Law and Jurisdiction

German law shall apply.

The place of jurisdiction, where legally permissible, shall be the residence of the landlords.


14. Inventory List and Condition of the Property

Each property is provided with a detailed inventory list including furnishings, technical equipment, and outdoor facilities.

The property shall be deemed to have been handed over in proper and defect-free condition unless the tenant reports defects or missing items in writing (email sufficient) within 24 hours after check-in.

If no such notification is made within this period, it shall be presumed that:

• the property was complete

• the inventory was complete

• the property was in contractual condition

Damages or missing items discovered after departure and not previously reported shall be deemed to have occurred during the rental period.

Normal wear and tear remains unaffected.


15. Photographic Documentation and Evidence Preservation

The landlords or the property management are entitled to create photographic documentation of the interior and exterior of the property:

• upon arrival

• upon departure

• in case of suspected breach of contract

Such documentation serves exclusively as evidence in case of:

• damages

• excessive cleaning

• violations of house rules

• unauthorized guests

• parties or events

Photographs shall be used solely for evidentiary purposes and deleted after final settlement of any claims, unless statutory retention obligations apply.

By concluding the rental agreement, the tenant expressly agrees to this documentation for evidentiary purposes.


16. Electricity Consumption

Electricity costs in the amount of USD 3.50 per day are included in the rental price.

Electricity consumption exceeding this amount shall be charged at USD 0.20 per kWh.

The electricity meter reading shall be documented:

• at check-in

• at check-out

by the property management.

Documentation may be made by photo or written record.

Any excess consumption shall be reimbursed by the tenant.

The landlords are entitled to:

Payment is due within 7 days of invoicing.

The tenant shall be fully liable for damages or excessive electricity consumption resulting from improper use.


18. Pool Heating

All pools are heatable.

Pool heating results in increased electricity and/or energy consumption.

The resulting additional consumption shall be borne by the tenant in accordance with the electricity overconsumption clause.

A specific water temperature is not guaranteed, as it depends on:

• outside temperature

• weather conditions

• season

No claims for damages shall arise due to weather-related temperature deviations.


19. Refusal to Pay Additional Charges

The obligation to pay excess electricity consumption constitutes a contractual secondary obligation.

Refusal to pay entitles the landlords to:

• offset against the security deposit

• pursue legal action

• claim statutory default interest
