Rental law

Our solicitors are happy to assist you with disputes that you have in the area of rent law. This can be a dispute with respect to a rent arrears, a threatening eviction, nuisance by the neighbors, sublease or a landlord who refuses to carry out maintenance or transfer the deposit at the end of the lease.

We have ample (litigation)experience so that we do not shy away from legal proceedings, but of course we will do our best to resolve your dispute in an amicable way.

Because we represent both landlords and tenants, we know from both parties what their rights and interests are. Do not hesitate to contact us directly if you have a dispute regarding your rental agreement.

Deposit not refunded?

Has your rental ended and you have wrongly not received your deposit back? Then read on!

Try it yourself first

You will recover your deposit the fastest and most economically by asking for it yourself in writing. If that doesn’t work, send a registered letter at least once. You can download an example with explanation here.

In the registered letter (you may also send it by registered e-mail, as long as the proof of receipt is reliable) you also claim interest and debt collection costs.

What if my ex-landlord fails to return my deposit even after a registered letter?

Then it is time to engage us. Be sure to check our fees page to see if you are eligible for government-subsidised legal aid or discounts on our hourly rate, otherwise hiring a lawyer could well be more expensive than what it pays for.

About to sign a new rental contract?

If you intend to sign a rental contract, have it scanned by our specialists before you sign.

All-in fee

For a one time all-in fee of € 695 (including VAT) we will scan your rental contract and point out the risks and points of improvement essential for you as a new tenant. We will also verify ownership, possible seizures or promises to sell in the land registry and we will send you excerpt from public registries regarding size and value of the real estate – information you may need to check the rent value.

About to sign a new labour contract?

If you intend to sign a labour contract, have it scanned by our specialists before you sign.

All-in fee

For a one time all-in fee of € 695 (including VAT) we will scan your labour contract and point out the risks and points of improvement essential for you. Remember, as soon as you have an offer to conclude a labour agreement, your future employer is invested in you: they will listen to you if you have reasonable requests with regards to changes in the contract. We will watch for typical risks expats run when concluding labour contracts in The Netherlands, just because they are unfamiliar with Dutch labour practices.

Offered a settlement agreement to end your labour agreement? Read this before you sign!

When your employer offers you a settlement agreement (a severance package), it’s crucial to fully understand what you’re agreeing to. Otherwise, you risk unknowingly signing away important rights.  These agreements can involve complex terms and hidden risks, especially if you’re not familiar with Dutch labour law.

For years, we have been assisting expats and employees in the Netherlands in understanding and optimising their settlement agreements.

Get a specialist review for a fixed fee

One of our experienced lawyers will thoroughly review your settlement agreement, for a fixed fee of €695 (including VAT).  We’ll identify potential risks, highlight areas for improvement, and ensure you are fully informed of your rights.

When you’re offered a settlement agreement, you’re in a strong position to negotiate. Employers are often open to reasonable changes, especially if you’re well-informed. With our help, you’ll be better prepared to make those requests.

We pay special attention to common pitfalls expats face when ending employment in the Netherlands: issues that often go unnoticed due to unfamiliarity with local practices.

How It Works

Simply send us your personal details and your settlement offer, and let us know you would like to use this service at the all-in price of €695.

We will then send you an invitation to pay this amount. Once we receive your payment, you can expect our advice within five working days – usually sooner. If you have a particular deadline, please first call to see if we can help you faster.

This service also includes a follow-up phone consultation of up to 12 minutes to answer any questions you may have. Representation in negotiations is not included, but if you would like us to handle that for you, please check our fees page for more information. In case you would like to negotiate on your behalf, please look at our fees page to see what that might cost you.
