Clients are strongly urged to take out Trip Cancellation Insurance at the time of confirmation. Just France routinely provides booking forms for Trip Cancellation Insurance with our Acknowledgment of Deposit and Final Payments. Owners of properties in France invariably require a refundable security deposit in addition to rent. The amount and terms of these deposits are set by property owners, and they vary widely. Factors entering into the amount of security deposits include the quality of furnishings, length of stay, and the owners' past experience with renters.
Some owners meter telephone usage and are able to settle final charges shortly after departure.
Often, however, security deposits are returnable about 10 weeks after departure. The delay is attributable to the fact that France T l com bills on a bi-monthly basis, and owners refuse to make a final settlement until all telephone bills have been received for the rental period. It is extremely rare that the owner and renter disagree as to the amount of final charges to be deducted from the security deposit. Should this occur Just France will, at the renter's request, act as a good faith arbitrator in ironing out differences on security deposit deductions. In every event, however, the word of the owner is final.
