Frequently asked questions
- Is it possible to let my house?
If you are the owner of the property and the deed of sale does not mention anything about renting out your property, you are free to rent it out. Deeds of sale often state that renting out is only permitted if the mortgage lender is aware of this. If this is the case, we recommend that you contact our office, as we can see at a glance what the restrictions are, if any.
If there is no mortgage on the property, it is possible to rent it out. If it is an apartment in an apartment complex, the Owners' Association (VVE) must also be informed about the rental of the property. This is usually stated in the articles of association and in the internal regulations.
Finally, check whether the property falls within the private sector. Please note that these regulations may change due to new legislation and amendments. - What do I have to arrange if I would like to let my house?
It is wise to look carefully in the purchase contract to see if there are any restrictions. If rental seems possible, it is good to have the rent tested by a rental agent. It is important for a landlord to know what the intended rental income will be. Determine in advance how you will deliver the house, fully furnished or unfurnished. Furnished rental attracts a different target group than when the house is delivered empty. It is also important to determine in advance how long the house will be available and which lease agreement will be applied. In addition, the house must be well maintained so that there are little or no maintenance issues during the rental period.
Also think about the property management of your home, you can find more information about this at www.koopsvastgoedbeheer.nl - Can I rent out my home for a temporary period?Yes! For several years now it has been possible to draw up a rental agreement for a definite period, the end date is then clear. This can be a period of a few months up to a maximum of 24 months. A timely notification (3-6 months before the expiry of the lease) to the tenant stating that the rental period is terminated is sufficient to get the property back without a tenant. It is not possible to extend a temporary rental contract with another temporary agreement. If the tenant stays in the house after the first term, the temporary nature of the agreement will lapse, and the agreement will continue for an indefinite period (permanent contract).
- Is it better to rent out to a specific type of tenant?Our employees do not distinguish between tenants, but if an owner has a specific wish to rent out to an expat, we will comply with this. The demand for rental housing from expats is very high. Expats are usually looking for furnished rental properties located near public transport. Our experience is that an expat lives in the house for an average of 3 years.
- Is my home classified as a private sector house?
That depends on several components; the size of the house, what kind of energy label does the house have, in which region is the house located, is it a monument, these are all components that determine whether the house is classified as a private sector house. This topic has been subject to change in recent years. It is wise to have your home tested by one of our employees.
- Can I sublet?If you do not own the property, it is important to ask the owner or landlord whether temporary letting to third parties is allowed. An owner must give written permission for this. Subletting is often allowed when it concerns a temporary period. Also, in the case of subletting, record the agreements in a rental agreement
- Do I need a permit to let my property?If you rent out a house to a maximum of 2 (adult) people, you do not need a permit from the municipality. If you want to rent out the house to more than 2 (adult) people, you must apply for a permit from the municipality. In that case, we speak of room-based rental. When you have obtained a permit, every resident can register with the municipality. In Amsterdam we speak of a conversion permit, it is important that you take in to account the policy of the municipality. We do not recommend renting to more than 2 people without a permit!
