a) Cancellation at the tenant's initiative
In case of cancellation by the tenant before the arrival in the premises, and in the absence of coverage by a cancellation insurance, the deposit remains acquired by the owner, and the balance of the amount of the stay is due in full by the tenant.
If the tenant does not show up within 24 hours after the arrival date indicated on the contract, the present contract is cancelled and the owner can dispose of the rental. The deposit also remains the property of the owner who can ask for the payment of the balance of the rent.
b) Cancellation at the owner's initiative
In case of cancellation by the owner, the owner pays the tenant the totality of the paid sums. The tenant can ask for damages or compensation for the moral and financial prejudice suffered.
c) In case of cancellation during the contract
When the owner terminates the contract during the rental period, it must be duly justified (non-payment of the rent, cheque with insufficient funds issued by the tenant, proven deterioration of the rented premises, complaints from the neighborhood, etc.). This cancellation, which is done by registered mail with acknowledgement of receipt or by hand-delivered letter against signature, entails the departure of the tenant within two days of the date of receipt of the letter notifying him of this decision. In this case, whatever the cause of the cancellation, the entire amount of the rents remains acquired to the owner. The owner reserves the right to keep the amount of the security deposit under the conditions specified in the paragraph "security deposit".
