3. The balance of the rent together with the security deposit (see clause 4) is payable not less than four weeks before the start of the rental period.

4. A security deposit of £300.00 is required in case of, for example, damage to the Property or its contents. However, the sum reserved clause shall not limit the Clients liability to the Owner. The Owner will account to the Client for the security deposit and refund the amount within two weeks after the end of the rental period. Any chargeable expenses arising during the rental period (e.g. damage to the Property or contents) will be deducted from the deposit. Although a final cleaning fee is included in the rental, the Owner reserves the right to make retention from the security deposit of any additional cleaning cost if the Client leaves the Property in an unacceptable condition.
   
5. Subject to clauses 2 and 3 above, in the event of a non-insurable cancellation, refunds of amounts paid will be made if the Owner is able to re-let the property, and any expenses or losses incurred in so doing will be deducted from the refundable amount.
