What is a Ski / MTB season Let?
A typical winter ski season seasonal let in Morzine is five months in duration and runs from the 1st December until the 30th April. Summer mtb season lets generally start from the 1st June until the 09th September. We can sometimes be flexible on these dates, depending on your requirements. Please ask us if you have different dates in mind for your winter ski season or summer MTB season in Morzine.
Why is the full season's rent due up front?
The reason we ask for full payment before the actual start of the winter ski season is that the majority of property owners stipulate this in their contracts. The main reason they do this is to protect themselves from tenants defaulting on rental payments or leaving resort early. Also once a deposit has been received from you for your winter or summer seasonal accommodation in Morzine that property is then taken of the market and unavailable to others looking for their seasonal accommodation and potentially resulting in empty beds/apartments for the ski/summer season.
What is the security / damage deposit?
The damage deposit is a payment that is required before you enter your seasonal property to protect against any damage that might be caused over the winter ski season or summer MTB season in Morzine. It can also be used to cover excessive bills. The damage deposit amount is individual to each property and the rental amount for that property but usually amounts to one months rent. All damage deposits received for your seasonaire accommodation will be returned in full once the winter ski/summer mtb season has ended. Winter season ends on 30th April and Summer in September. An agent will check your property thoroughly and if no damage has been caused your deposit will be returned in full.
