Cancellations and changes to the rental agreement

For changes to the rental agreement for a summer house, a booking fee of ISK 1,500 is charged. If you wish to cancel or change the rental agreement, you must send a request by e-mail to orlof@efling.is with your name and kennitala along with the agreement number.

  • The tenant can cancel the booking up to 14 days before the stay for a full refund minus the booking fee. Reimbursement is made into an account registered to the tenant.
  • The tenant can cancel the booking up to 7 days before the stay for a 50% refund minus the booking fee.
  • if the house can be re-rented in time, the tenant will receive a 75% refund minus the booking fee.
  • If the rental agreement is returned later (with less than 7 days notice) there’s no refund.

Weather / impassable roads

If the tenant cannot get to the residence due to weather/inaccessibility, a notice of this must be sent before the rental period begins by e-mail to orlof@efling.is.

  • Requirement for a refund because of weather conditions is that the Icelandic Met Office has issued a warning. Travel to and from summer houses is the sole responsibility of those leasing it and Efling does not pay any costs that you may incur due to bad weather conditions. It is important to look at the weather forecast and driving conditions before going to the summerhouse.

• Full refund will be made.

Illness

A notification must be sent to the e-mail address orlof@efling.is before the rental period begins and the Recreational fund may also request a medical certificate.

• Full refund will be made except the confirmation fee.

Reimbursement will be made into the bank account that members have registered on their pages.

Rent is never refunded if notification is received after the rental period begins.
