Why should you let me help you lower your rent?

The rent reduction procedure at the Huurcommissie, fully taken off your hands.

01

Completely off your hands.

I take over the procedure, the contact with your landlord, the documents and the settlement. You don't have to figure anything out or do anything yourself.

02

You pay afterwards.

I work on a no-cure-no-pay basis: you pay afterwards, only once your landlord has agreed to my proposal or the Huurcommissie has ruled that your rent goes down.

03

Your rent cannot go up.

Requesting a rent reduction never makes your rent higher than what you pay now. In the worst case, your rent stays as it is.

04

You won't be evicted.

Requesting a rent reduction is not grounds for eviction. I'll make sure everything goes smoothly.

05

No conflict with your landlord.

You never have to argue with your landlord yourself. Whenever contact with your landlord is needed, I handle it, professionally and clearly.

06

I'll make the most of it.

The outcome depends on the correct interpretation of the law and case law. I know where the leeway lies, and I’ll find it for you.

07

You'll get a refund for the excess rent you paid.

If you overpaid, you deduct it from your rent. I tell you exactly how much and how.

08

Your deposit remains yours.

A rent reduction is never deducted from your security deposit, and if your landlord tries to do that anyway, I'll make sure it doesn't happen.

09

Be honest up front, even if the answer is no.

I'll assess your case fairly and let you know if a rent reduction isn't possible. You'll never get involved in a process that has no chance of success.

The property determines the rent

Whether you’re paying too much isn’t determined by your landlord, your real estate agent, or the amount of your rent. It’s determined by the characteristics of your home: the square footage, the energy efficiency rating, the WOZ value, and the amenities. Together, these factors contribute to a national points system, and that total determines what your maximum rent should be. If your rent exceeds that amount, you may be able to apply for a rent reduction.

  • Less than 60 m²: Your rent is almost always capped.
  • 60 to 80 m²: There's a good chance your rent is capped.
  • 80 m² and larger: often in the private sector, but certainly not always.

This is a first indication, not a definite answer. The free Huurcheck gives you certainty, in a few minutes. Precisely because this points system is so little known, many people pay too much for years without realising it.

About Huurfix

“I started this because I saw things go wrong too often”

For years, I saw tenants paying too much, receiving incorrect information, or getting bogged down in procedures that are unnecessarily complicated. Not because they were in the wrong, but because they didn’t know where to start. During those years, I immersed myself in tenancy law, rent review procedures, and the workings of the Huurcommissie. I know where cases get bogged down, which approach makes a difference, and how to build a case that offers the best chance of success.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you want to know before having your rent checked. I briefly explain how it works, when you qualify and what you can expect from me. Is your question not listed? Feel free to ask, I'm happy to help you figure it out.

Can I be evicted if I request a rent reduction?

How It Works

No. Requesting a rent reduction is not grounds for eviction, and your landlord cannot evict you for that reason. Your right to have your rent reviewed is completely separate from your right to continue living in your home. I’ll make sure everything is handled correctly.

Could my rent go up if I apply for a rent reduction?

How It Works

No. Requesting a rent reduction can never make your rent higher than what you pay now. In the worst case, your rent stays as it is.

Will I have trouble with my landlord?

How It Works

You don't have to handle that yourself, because I'll handle the communication with your landlord. A rent reduction isn't a dispute but a straightforward legal procedure, and in many cases, your landlord is barely involved. Often, there's no need to even contact them.

Will I lose my security deposit if my rent is reduced?

How It Works

No. Your security deposit is still yours. Your security deposit and your rent are two separate things: a rent reduction is never deducted from your security deposit. If your landlord tries to do that anyway, I’ll make sure it doesn’t happen.
