Private-sector rent check

Private-sector rent requires extra context

For private-sector rent, there is not always a fixed maximum rent in the same way as for regulated rent. Points and the contract date may still be important.

New regulations may affect the classification. Always check which rules apply to your contract.

When the points score is high, HuurVragen deliberately avoids making a firm claim about a maximum rent.

Start with facts and evidence

First collect only the documents relevant to your question: the rental contract and appendices, proof of payment, relevant correspondence and housing details such as the energy label, WOZ value or measurements. Keep the original files and a copy of every message. Do not share an identity document, citizen service number or other sensitive documents in an initial request.

Start with a clear rent check

First check your base rent, home details, points estimate and possible difference. You can then choose whether to keep only the result or download a document.
