Housing

As a tenant in the Netherlands, you have rights. It’s important to know what to expect and where to get help if needed.

Your rights include:

Protection against excessive rent.
Clear rules about deposit and cancellation.
Maintenance responsibilities.

Where to get help:

Huurteam Eindhoven: Free advice and support for tenants.
Het Juridisch Loket: Legal advice on housing and contracts.

Watch out for:

Scams (e.g. fake listings, requests for upfront payments).
Unclear or unfair rental contracts.

Always read your contract carefully and ask for help if something doesn’t feel right.
