Document background
The Rent Change Notice is a crucial document in Dutch property management, required whenever a landlord or property manager intends to modify the rental amount for a property. This document must be used in accordance with Dutch housing law, which stipulates specific notice periods (typically at least one month for most changes) and maximum allowable increases. The Rent Change Notice must be issued in writing and include precise details about the current rent, new rent amount, effective date, and the basis for the change. For regulated housing, it must also comply with government-established calculation methods and maximum increase percentages. The document is essential for both residential and commercial properties and must be drafted carefully to ensure legal compliance while maintaining clear communication with tenants.
