- 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.
