In case of not leaving the flat on the established period, the tenant will incur in a fine of €200 for each day delayed.
  54. The breach of the rules may result in a written warning sent by e-mail that will imply that 100€ from the deposit will be taken in the check out.

If the evicted tenant does not leave the room in a two days period, he/she will have an additional penalty of 200€ per day of delay.
