| Hi, im wanting to book a villa that is close to the theme parks.
There is 4 of us in the party. 3 are 19years old and 1 is 18.
Does anybody have or know of any villas available for the begging of June time for 2 weeks?
Thanks. Matt. | | Report this post to a moderator |

| | The main reason for asking the age of anyone under 21 is to make sure that (in the case of US guests at least) you have a valid contract. In the UK the age at which a person can enter into a legally binding contract is 18 but in the US is 21. So if an owner accepted a ooking and there was some issue, perhaps with payment or damage that required Court intervention for example, if the lead Guest is not over the age of majority then the contract would be null and void, leaving the owner with what could be (worst case scenario - if the house was damaged eg by fire, beyond repair) with a loss of several hundred thousand dollars. |

| | Actually Gwen I have been looking at it again and I am pretty sure I have seen that a contract is enforceable if a person is over 18 in both countries and what I orginially posted may now be out of date but am trying to check.. However to avoid any ambiguity or possible comeback if a younger party should rent and break alcohol laws for instance then I would prefer to make sure that there is no way it could come back to me. Knowing how some of these obscure laws work in that you can be held responsible for some things even if you didnt know it was going to happen. |
