The rent reduction procedure at the Huurcommissie, fully taken 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.
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.
Requesting a rent reduction never makes your rent higher than what you pay now. In the worst case, your rent stays as it is.
Requesting a rent reduction is not grounds for eviction. I'll make sure everything goes smoothly.
You never have to argue with your landlord yourself. Whenever contact with your landlord is needed, I handle it, professionally and clearly.
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.
If you overpaid, you deduct it from your rent. I tell you exactly how much and how.
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.
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.
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.
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.
