Information for tenants of summer houses

Are you going to a summer house? You need to know this:

The vacation houses of Efling are owned in common by our members.

Tidiness is in all our best interest!

• Remember to bring the rental agreement with you when going to a summar house and read it thoroughly. The rental agreement can be accessed electronically at mitt.efling.is under “vacation rentals”

• The rental agreement contains all the necessary information and terms that are important to review carefully when staying at a summer house. It includes details on where to collect the keys, the codes for key boxes and security gates (where applicable), check-in and check-out times, and the phone number of the property manager.

The property manager’s phone number is listed in the rental agreement. Keys for Hvammur are handed out at the Efling office. In locations with a key box, the check-in time is less important. The rental agreement contains information about the check-in time. The rental agreement includes the key box code and security gate code, where applicable.

• All Efling holiday homes are equipped with cleaning supplies, including dish soap and brushes, floor soap, and toilet cleaner. Floor mops, buckets, as well as a vacuum cleaner, are also provided. If any of these items are missing upon arrival, the property manager must be notified as soon as possible so the issue can be addressed.

• It is important to leave the holiday home in good condition and clean it thoroughly before departure. If the cleaning is deemed insufficient by the property manager, a cleaning fee will be charged. The cleaning fee in 2025 is 50,000ISK.* The renter is responsible for the condition of the house and must ensure it is properly cleaned.

Upon departure:

– Clean the house, the grill, and the hot tub.
– Ensure that all windows and doors are properly closed and locked.
– Return the key to the property manager or place it in the key box (as applicable).
– Do not turn off the heating in the house upon departure.

It is necessary to bring one’s own sheets, cases for the pillows and covers, towels, dish-rags, table-rags, hand-soap and toilet paper.

• Efling’s holiday homes and apartments are similarly equipped and intended for 5 to 10 people, depending on size. All kitchen utensils should be available, including a refrigerator, stove, and microwave. Duvets, pillows, a high chair and a baby crib, a shower, television, radio, and gas grill are also provided.

• It is strictly forbidden to hand one’s rental agreement over to another and animals are not allowed in the vacation houses of Efling unless otherwise stated in the rental agreement. Any violation of these rules may result in the union member in question being barred from further allocations in the future.

• It is not permitted to charge electric vehicles at the houses.

• The renter is not permitted to transfer their rental rights. Make sure the area is treated with care & respect the privacy of others. All unnecessary traffic and noise after 12:00 AM is prohibited.  Violation of these rules will result in the member being excluded from future allocations.
