The security deposit (guarantee deposit)

Some hosts require a **security deposit** to cover any potential damage. When this is the case, the amount is shown on the property listing before booking. The deposit is **managed directly with the host**, according to the terms they specify (credit card hold, uncashed cheque, bank transfer…). It is **returned to you after your stay** if the property is left in good condition. Many properties require no deposit at all. In all cases, it does not replace your liability in the event of damage: if an issue arises, the CasaGiga team can step in (see "Damage and Disputes").
