The Rental Purchase Agreement (huurkoopovereenkomst) is utilized when parties wish to structure an asset acquisition through a combination of rental and purchase elements under Dutch law. This arrangement is particularly suitable for situations where immediate full payment is not feasible or desired, but the ultimate goal is transfer of ownership. The document incorporates mandatory provisions from the Dutch Civil Code Book 7A, Title 5A, addressing payment terms, possession rights, maintenance obligations, and ownership transfer conditions. It is commonly used for high-value assets in both consumer and business contexts, providing protection for both seller and buyer interests while ensuring compliance with Dutch consumer protection legislation and financial regulations.
