I think my unit scores 145 points. I've been here since July 2023, and the landlord is raising the rent €100 (7+%) this year. I am speaking to him tomorrow, to ask him to keep the rent the same, because based on the Huurcommissie calculator I'm paying too much.

But, reading the forum, now I'm starting to wonder if that calculation even legally applies to me? I've been paying, according to our original contract, 1195 rent and 100 g/w/e the whole time. Our contract refers to the rent as uncontrolled. And, if I'm right on the points, I'm past the cutoff anyways.

I'm not asking about getting money back. I'm asking if he refuses and I go to the Huurcommissie, if they will even look at a vrije sector case and if there are any legal limits on what I could pay.

Hi everyone!

I am scheduled to sign a rental contract with "Van der Huizen Vastgoedbeheer" next week, and I have read almost all negative reviews posted about them on here, unfortunately, because I have had no luck with anywhere else, I will most likely be going forward with them.

I have read through the draft contract and essentially I am required to give a 3 month notice period before moving out & have to pay rent for a period of 3 months at once. The sketchiest part is their insistence on cash payment of nearly 4000€.. at the contract signing and key handover

I honestly don't have a proper plan in my head but I am aiming to get out and find a new place as soon as possible after moving in there. I've still got 2 years left of my study, so if anyone could give me any advice on how I could rent there while planning my leave as soon as possible and also ensuring I get my deposit back (i've read that the deposit is to be returned no later than 2 months, and they often pass this limit) I would really appreciate it. It's my first time dealing with renting and living abroad...

Hi

I have a quick question regarding the legality of the minimum rental time in contracts.

I am looking to rent temporarily for a 3-5 months and all the houses in Groningen come with a indefinite contract and minimum rental period of 12 months.

What happens if i want to leave before the 12 months? Can I be forced to pay the rent for the remaining of the contract?
