Return and Cleaning
Return the tent as you received it. If it is very dirty and proved with photos, cleaning costs may be taken from the deposit.
Return it as you received it
Pack down the tent and return it in the same condition you received it — clean, dry when possible, and complete with all parts.
Agree the return place and hour with the owner in your Inbox.
Cleaning
Shake out sand, mud, and debris. Wipe dirty surfaces and leave the tent as close as possible to how it was at pickup.
Normal light use is expected. Leaving the tent very dirty is not.
Dirty return and the deposit
If the tent comes back very dirty, the owner may claim cleaning costs from the €400 security deposit. Claims need photo evidence (condition at return, and ideally comparison with pickup photos).
See How Deposits Work and Disputing a Deposit Charge.
Tips
- Take return photos with the owner at handover
- Report damage or problems as soon as they happen
- Dry the tent when you can before packing it away
