When should you send a letter?
A letter can be useful when you have checked the housing details and the base rent may be higher than the indicative maximum.
Describe the outcome as an indication, state the amounts used and ask for a written response. Avoid strong legal claims when you do not yet have a binding decision.
The HuurVragen Personal Letter Package includes friendly, business-like and firm Dutch versions that are automatically filled with your details.

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.
