Has anyone experienced the management company adding an additional high season week into the calendar and also putting it in a month that had always previously been mid- season. This has just happened to me and means we now can't use our apartment at Easter! Any advice please?
The contract does not define high, mid or low season. When I asked about this I was assured that New year and February are always high season and Easter always mid season and I was shown the previous year's occupancy calendar to demonstrate this. I was told that they don't define it in the lease because it's always the same - everyone knows high season is New year and virtually all February to cover holidays in Europe. Easter always mid season.Interestingly it is not priced at a high season rate and so the only people really affected are the owners whose choice becomes more limited and it could affect resale value during the lease term! I am going to write to the lease company and depending on their response take legal advice. An article in a property/travel magazine about these sort of practices would be interesting. I know a few journalists.
