The apartment owner guarantees the proper functioning of the apartment's facilities (electricity, gas, plumbing, etc.) and movable property, including appliances (washing machine, refrigerator, iron, etc.). The owner agrees to repair such property during the term of this contract. It is understood that this commitment does not exist when the damage is caused by the fault or negligence of the students (see clause B9 of this contract). Except for this maintenance service, the owner is not obliged to provide the student with any other additional service, such as laundry, periodic cleaning of rooms, meal service, or any other typical of the hotel industry.

The tenant, when they begin to live in the apartment, will have a set of house keys (one for the street and one for the apartment door) for their personal use as well as for the door of the room being rented, which they will return when leaving the accommodation. In the apartment there will be a mailbox key available to the other tenants.

In order to promote a university atmosphere in the apartments, the owner agrees with the tenant that during their stay they will only rent rooms to university students or recent graduates in internships, or who are taking competitive exams, or postgraduate studies.

Tenant Obligations:

Upon arrival in the accommodation city, the tenant will deliver to Room2rent the following documentation:

• Copy of passport or identity card.
• A recent passport-size photo
• Copy of a document certifying the studies to be carried out during the stay in the accommodation.

The tenant will use the room exclusively as their personal residence, so they may not sublet it to other people, nor use it for commercial purposes.

• The tenant agrees to pay the monthly rent established on the first page of this contract (where only the property data, the price and the names of the signatories are specified). This amount will be paid even if the tenant is absent from the property, for vacation or other reasons, during the agreed months of stay.

In case of going to the Courts, the signatories submit to the jurisdiction of the Courts of the city of Valencia.
• Except for the cases mentioned in the previous points, Room2rent will not be responsible for any obligations that arise between the owner and the tenant (for example, the obligations to repair that arise from a crime or misdemeanor committed by the owner against the student tenant; or by the latter against the former).
• This contract binds both parties from the moment the student makes the payment of the deposit-signal, either directly, online or by bank transfer. In any case, for reasons of greater legal security, the student and the owner will sign three copies of the contract: one for the student, one for the owner and one for Room2rent.
• The payment of the monthly rent is exempt from VAT under article 20, section one, no. 23 of law 37/1992.
