Frequently Asked Questions

BedsnBoard Limited are UK registered business with a fully French registered French arm division BedsnBoard Sarl. We specialise in providing winter and summer seasonal accommodation in Morzine, Les Gets and other ski resorts in the French Alps. Our seasonal accommodation options range from shared chalets available on a per bed basis to private apartments and chalets. We have something to suit everyone’s budget.

The reason we ask for full payment before the actual start of the winter season is that the majority of property owners stipulate this in their contracts. The main reason is they do this is to protect themselves from tenants defaulting on rental payments or leaving resort early.

This is a payment which you pay as a deposit against any damage which might occur to the property and cover any utility bills (should the bills not be included in the property price).

This varies depending on the type of property you have chosen but is usually equivalent to one months rent. The amount will be specified in your tenancy agreement.

As soon as your rental period ends BedsnBoard or associated agents will check the property for any damage and missing items. Should you have a winter seasonal let we try not to pay the deposits back any later then the 30th May.

Generally, bedding (duvets, pillow, and blankets) will be provided but you will just need to check this with us before hand as some properties do not provide them. You will need to provided you own linen and towels (don’t forget tea towels!). Sleeping bags are not an acceptable form of bed linen. It is also worth noting that French pillows tend to be square rather than oblong. You can always buy these or rent these locally.

We do recommend you take out some form of travel insurance, both for you personally, and for your personal possessions. We also require you to take out “Tenants liability insurance” which is a French legal requirement and can be obtained at AXA insurance in Morzine (contact details can be supplied by us). We also highly recommend that you take out ski or snowboard accident insurance as French medical care can be extremely expensive should you not be covered by insurance.

Once you have found the property you require, please contact us directly and we will email you a tenancy agreement. Once the tenancy agreement has been signed and returned (scanned email copy is fine), you will need to pay a non refundable deposit by bank transfer to our French Euro account to secure the property. Please note that until we receive the signed tenancy agreement and your deposit, we cannot reserve any accommodation for you. We will also need a scanned copy of your passport as proof of identity. You will need to pay the final balance of the rent and refundable security deposit (varies per property) one month before arriving in resort. Please be aware that no keys will be handed over until all funds have cleared in our account. This will be returned to you at the end of the rental period subject to a successful check out procedure / inventory check. On the day you move in, you will collect keys from a BedsnBoard agent or their appointed local management agent. You will be given a property inventory and asked to sign it. We advise that you do check this document carefully and make a note of any damage or missing items that do not appear on the inventor and inform the respective BedsnBoard agent.

A winter seasonal let is five months in duration and runs from the 1st December until the 30th April. Summer season lets generally start from the 1st June until the 15th September. We can sometimes be flexible on these dates, depending on your requirements. Please ask us if you have different dates in mind.
