Tenancy General Conditions
Contract and payment of the advance fee.
The tenancy agreement contract will be sent to you by email. The contract will be given to you the day you enter the premises for you to sign it. In order to secure your booking, we require an advance payment of the total amount according to the length of your stay. Credit cards not accepted.
Payment of the rest and deposit :
You can pay for the remaining amount at your rrival in Paris. Credit cards not accepted.
Entering the flat:
Your arrival hour is flexible. Someone will welcome you at the flat/apartment. At the booking stage you will have agreed on a time to enter the premises. We will then:
  • 1. Show you around the flat/apartment (the tour will be done by a certified member of Apartaparis)
  • 2. Give you a set of keys.
  • 3. Ask you to sign the contract.
  • 5. Agree on a date/time to return the keys and leave the premises.
Leaving :
A member of Apartaparis will then check the place for any damages. They will give you an inventory as well as a summary of your use of gas and electricity. The amount is payable on your departure or when we refund your deposit (as part of your deposit).
Using the premises :
You may use the premises as if they were your own home, meaning in a civilised manner and looking after them properly. All the facilities are in working order and any claims contrary to this made more than 24 hours after entering the premises will not be taken into account. Repairs required due to your negligence will be charged to you. You are also required to be respectful of your neighbours and make sure that you and/or your family do not disturb them unduly.
Equipment / housekeeping :
Premises are rented furnished with kitchen equipment, dishes, cutlery, blankets and pillows as described in the description contract. We will clean up after you have left the premises and this is included in the price. However, in exceptional cases, the landlord or a member of Apartaparis might require you to pay the following:
  • cost for cleaning the premises (at a cost of 30 Euros) if the premises are left in a state of severe uncleanliness.
  • full cost for replacement of items (furniture and/or facilities) broken, cracked, damaged or deteriorated.
Cancellation policy :
  • Your advance payment will not be refunded.
    • Insurance :
    You don't need to subscribe to an extra insurance policy for the rented apartment/flat, as Apartaparis is insured with AXA, a policy covering civil responsibility linked to the premises (fire, water, physical injuries etc). However, the policy does not cover your personal belongings in the event of a burglary.
    Electricity :
    You pay for the electricity you use. Parisaddress charges 0.10 euros per kWh. Standard consumption for one month occupancy is around 100 euros in winter and barely noticeable in Summer.

    If the apartment/flat you've chosen has gas central heating, again you pay for what you've used. Apartaparis charges 0.10 euros per kWh. Standard consumption for one month occupancy is around 80 euros in winter and barely noticeable in Summer.
    Phone :
    Local calls are free (Paris only), for standard phone numbers, excluding specific numbers and mobile/cell phones.

If you wish to unlock the line, to use it freely, a deposit of 300 euros will be required and calls will be charged at a standard price.
