The House Agreement (Huurovereenkomst) is a fundamental legal document used in the Netherlands for residential property rentals. This agreement is essential whenever a property owner (verhuurder) wishes to rent out a residential property to a tenant (huurder). The document must comply with Dutch housing law, which is known for its strong tenant protections and specific regulatory requirements. The agreement covers crucial aspects such as rent amount, payment terms, security deposit, maintenance obligations, and conditions for termination. It must align with Dutch Civil Code requirements and often includes additional provisions for specific situations such as furnished rentals or properties in multi-unit buildings. The House Agreement serves as the primary reference document throughout the tenure of the rental relationship and must be drafted carefully to ensure enforceability while respecting mandatory Dutch housing law provisions.
