Which payments do I have to make if I am going to rent a house?

When renting a home you must make a number of payments after the landlord has agreed with you as a tenant and before signing the lease:

Rent:

· On the 1st of the calendar month you pay the entire calendar month,
· You pay the total number of days in the current month between the 1st and 14th of the month
· From the 15th or later you pay the days of the current month and the following month.

Deposit: this is specified in advance, but is usually one month's rent

The rental agreement is effective immediately after signing. If you want to terminate the lease, you will have to do this via the regular channels. This means that you must cancel this with the landlord and / or manager.

A rental agreement can be drawn up for a minimum or maximum period. Both of these can never be included in the lease because they are conflicting terms. It is therefore important that you know for what period you rent or let the property and that this is clearly stated in the lease. With a minimum period you must stay in the house for the agreed period, and with a maximum period you have the right to cancel per payment period.

This differs per address and is included in your rental agreement.

Rent increase can be implemented for the first time on the first of July of the current year. This is often deviated from, so that the first rent increase only comes after one year. This is stated in the rental agreement.

There is usually a minimum period of time that you have to live in the house, for example at least 12 months. You cannot terminate the lease within these 12 months. After the minimum period, the cancellation period is the same as the payment period, which is usually one month.

The landlord can cancel if this is indicated in advance in the lease. This is only possible on the agreed date.

This differs per property, but usually pets are not allowed. If you have pets, it is advisable to state this in advance.

No this is not allowed. Staircases, overflows for general use are a safety passage and must be kept empty. If you place objects here, you risk the chance of the landlord or manager removing it.

To be eligible for a home you must have at least 3 times the total rent as gross income. So for example a rent of 1000 euros requires a gross income of at least 3000 euros. Of course there are exceptions, these are subject to the requirements of the landlord.

With some properties it is possible to rent with a guarantor. Bear in mind that the guarantor must be a resident in the Netherlands and must be able to prove that he must be able to bear his own monthly expenses as well as the rent.
