Are you paying too much rent?

HuurrechtHulp is a platform that helps tenants with legal advice on rental law in the Netherlands. With our free rent check, you can instantly find out if you're overpaying rent. For detailed advice, you can consult our real estate experts and lawyers.

With our free rent check, you enter your address and we automatically calculate the maximum rent price based on the Housing Valuation System (Woningwaarderingsstelsel/WWS). If your current rent is higher than the maximum, you may be overpaying and entitled to a rent reduction.

The rent check is 100% free. For detailed legal advice from a real estate expert or lawyer, we work with fixed, affordable rates. No surprises afterwards. Contact us for a no-obligation quote.

Yes! If you've been paying too much rent, you can claim back the difference retroactively for up to 3 years. Our lawyers can help you with the procedure at the Rent Tribunal (Huurcommissie).

The WWS is the points system used to determine the maximum rent price of a property. Points are awarded based on factors such as floor area, WOZ value, energy label, kitchen and bathroom facilities. Since the Affordable Rent Act (Wet betaalbare huur, July 2024), this also applies to mid-range rental homes up to 186 points.
