A rental declaration is a document in which the landlord officially confirms that a certain person or entity is renting or has rented a certain dwelling or property. This statement usually contains important information, such as the names of the tenant(s) and landlord(s), the address details of the rented property, the start and end dates of the lease, and the amount of rent.

A letting statement may be needed in various situations, such as when a tenant needs to register with the municipality, apply for a mortgage, or when the tenant wants to claim certain subsidies or schemes.

It is important that the letting statement is completed accurately and completely, and that both parties, the landlord and the tenant, sign the document to make it legally binding. The specific format and requirements for a letting statement may vary by country and region. It is advisable to seek legal advice, if necessary, to ensure that the declaration meets all relevant legal requirements.

An important part is that a rental declaration allows you to find out whether any debts arose during the previous tenancy (e.g. rent arrears), and whether they have been paid off.
