FORCE MAJEURE
Events such as airline strikes or flight cancellations, adverse weather conditions, fires, earthquakes, pandemics or any other event beyond our control and which cannot be avoided even after taking the utmost care are considered force majeure.
SECURITY DEPOSIT
A security deposit (the amount indicated next to the price of the flat) is required from the Guest in the event of damage to the flat, its furnishings, equipment and technical installations, loss or shortages during the rental period. The payment of the deposit will be blocked by YIAV upon presentation of the credit card upon arrival at the flat in the form of a pre-authorisation and will be released after the Guest's departure once it has been ascertained that no damage, loss or shortfall has occurred.
It is possible to pay the security deposit by bank transfer at the same time as paying the rent or in cash at check-in. In these cases it will be returned by bank transfer following verification of the state of the flat.
Should the client leave the flat before the agreed check-out date or time, YIAV shall be entitled to retain the security deposit until such time as one of its employees can check the condition in which the flat was left. Should any negligent use, damage, shortage or loss be discovered within the property, the client shall be liable to pay for it out of the deposit previously paid.
Should the value of any damaged, lost or missing property at the end of the stay exceed the value of the deposit paid, the Guest shall be liable for the greater damage directly to the owner of the property.
YAiV kindly asks Guests to be informed promptly of any damage or breakdown that may occur in the flat.

The Municipality of Venice therefore requests YAiV to collect this tax in its name and on its behalf. Payment must be made in cash (euros) upon arrival (check in) at your flat in Venice.
Important note: this tax only applies to the first 5 consecutive nights of your stay (i.e. if your stay is longer than 5 nights, e.g. 8 nights, the tax will only be calculated and charged for the first 5) and is subject to the following variations and exemptions:

More generally, we ask you to pay attention to waste management when you are out and about in the city, public waste bins are few and often full, but we ask you to make an effort even if it means taking your rubbish home and sorting it and disposing of it afterwards, for the sake of the decorum of the streets and canals.
At the handover you will be given a detailed explanation of the rules for separating and delivering waste, please make sure you understand and remember how to handle and deliver it. In case of mismanagement, the Municipality of Venice is very strict in this matter and imposes substantial fines which we will have to turn over to you, accompanied by the relevant report. We thank you in advance for being aware and respectful guests.
