Your rights as a tenant
As a tenant of residential property in the Netherlands, you are extensively protected by law. Rental law is established in Book 7, Title 4 of the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek) and supplementary legislation such as the Implementation Act on Rent Prices for Residential Property (Uitvoeringswet huurprijzen woonruimte). Our services help you effectively exercise these rights.
"De huurprijs van woonruimte kan op verzoek van de huurder worden getoetst door de Huurcommissie. Bij een te hoge huurprijs kan de Huurcommissie de huur verlagen tot het wettelijk maximum op basis van het woningwaarderingsstelsel."
— Articles 7:246-265 Dutch Civil Code, Implementation Act on Rent Prices for Residential Property
