You must always identify yourself when entering into a rental agreement.

If desired, we can provide a 1-on-1 English translation of the rental agreement for a fee. Only the Dutch rental agreement is legally valid, so it must be signed.

Our advice to everyone is to take out third-party insurance. If you rent a furnished home, also take out home contents insurance. The landlord has insured the property by means of a building insurance and if you rent a furnished home, the landlord will also take care of home contents insurance.

Before the handover of the keys/delivery takes place, we will send you a payment overview. This clearly states when the first payment must be paid.

This contact information will be included in the rental agreement and will be clearly stated again during the handover of the keys.

In Maastricht there are environmental platforms everywhere where you can dispose of waste for free and separate it, such as: paper and cardboard, glass, plastic etc. Residual waste must be offered in the special red/white municipal bags. These bags are available at supermarkets in Maastricht. Residual waste is collected weekly. A different waste policy may apply in surrounding municipalities.

The deposit is transferred to the landlord of the property with the first payment. We do not manage the deposit ourselves. The deposit will be returned after you have left the property and delivered it to us. The amount of the returned deposit depends on whether there are matters to be settled, such as cleaning or damage. The landlord has 3 months by law to return the deposit.

We will provide a tenant's declaration upon request in the event of good tenancy.

In the Netherlands, the housing valuation system applies. This means that a home has a maximum rent limit based on a certain number of points. The number of points is equal to an X amount. Above € 752.33, the housing market is liberalized (free sector). This means that you can determine the rent yourself. Slijpen Real Estate can determine a suitable market price together with you during a no-obligation introductory meeting.

You must take out a building insurance (unless your home is located in an apartment complex, in which case the VvE of the complex has taken out this in its entirety). It is important to inform the insurer that you are going to rent it out. Sometimes you will have to pay a small additional premium. If you are considering offering your home furnished, then also arrange a home contents insurance for the furniture.

The most important thing is to hire a good letting agent who knows the segment in which your property is located. Of course, you want a reliable tenant who will not stay in your property forever. A good, legally sound rental contract is essential. During a no-obligation consultation with Slijpen Real Estate, these important topics will be discussed. We will discuss the legal consequences of renting, determine the rental price and provide tips on this to optimize your return.
