Damage Costs More Than the Deposit

The deposit helps cover damage. Above that, the renter may still be liable under private-individual law; personal liability insurance may apply. Roofwander is only an intermediary.

What the deposit covers

The security deposit helps cover potential damage during the rental.

If costs exceed the deposit

If the damage costs more than the deposit, the renter may still be responsible for the remaining amount under the applicable laws between private individuals.

Depending on the country and the renter’s insurance policy, their personal liability insurance may cover the damage.

Roofwander’s role

Roofwander can provide proof of the rental if needed, but is not responsible for damages and only acts as an intermediary between the renter and the owner.
