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:](https://huurteameindhoven.nl/en/) Free advice and support for tenants.
- [Het Juridisch Loket](https://www.juridischloket.nl/en/): 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.
