If you are married or have a registered partnership, your partner will automatically become a co-tenant. It is important to inform us of this, so that we can adjust the rental agreement. Do you live together without being married or registered? Then you can apply for co-tenancy after two years of living together. There are conditions attached to this.
If your living or personal situation changes, for example because you are going to live with your partner or are getting divorced, you must inform us. To do this, you must submit a contract change request . Based on your request, we will assess whether or not it is possible to change your contract.
You can send the completed and signed document to verhuur@vanderlinden.nl or to

This depends on the start date of the lease and the basic starting rent. If the rent was below the liberalization threshold at the start, you have a regulated lease (meaning that the rent is determined by the government). If the rent was above this threshold, you have a liberalized lease (where the rent can be determined freely). For more information, please visit the website of the Central Government.
You can find more information about this in your rental agreement.
You can cancel your rental with the rental cancellation form. We will then process your cancellation.
The notice period is usually 1 calendar month. For example, if you give notice on July 15, the rental agreement ends on August 31. However, there are exceptions to this. Always consult your rental agreement first for the notice period of your home. If you cannot find it immediately, please contact our Rental department on 088-533 00 00 or send an email to verhuur@vanderlinden.nl
If you paid a deposit at the start of the rental agreement, you will receive this back into your account within 14 days after the end of the rental agreement. Any arrears will first be settled with this.
If during the final inspection it appears that there are defects in the home that we have to carry out at your expense, we will reserve the deposit to (partly) cover these costs.
All rights and obligations as a tenant are stated in the rental agreement that is signed when accepting the property. This agreement also contains the general provisions, in which all rights and obligations as a tenant are recorded.
In single-family homes, you are responsible for the maintenance of the garden and any driveway.

Service costs are additional costs on top of the basic rent and are stated separately in your rental agreement. They include, for example, costs for electricity in common areas, cleaning, the caretaker and heating.
Personal costs such as electricity, water and heating are for your own account, except when the provision is taken via the general connection. In that case, you will also receive a statement from us based on individual consumption. This consumption is measured by meters in your home or is divided on a proportional basis.
You pay an advance on the service costs every month. Before 1 July of the year after the closing of the financial year, you will receive a statement comparing how much you paid in total and what the actual costs were. This can result in a refund or an additional payment. If you have paid exactly enough, you do not have to do anything else.
After your rental contract has ended, you will receive a statement before July 1 of the following year for the period that you rented the property.
Yes, you can submit a request to adjust the advance payment amount by sending an email to administratie@vanderlinden.nl. We are happy to help you determine a suitable amount, but we take the actual costs into account, so that you do not have to pay extra at the end of the year, or as little as possible.
If the survivors have accepted the inheritance, they are responsible for paying the service charges. Any refunds will of course be paid to them.
You may view the invoices and we will then invite you for an appointment at our office. Unfortunately, we cannot share this information with you digitally or by post due to the GDPR. To make an appointment, you can send an email to administratie@vanderlinden.nl.
We charge administration costs for drawing up the statement, with a minimum amount of €7.50 per statement, as determined by the Rent Assessment Committee.
You can report a change to your bank account number via administratie@vanderlinden.nl. We will then send you a new authorization. This way, the rent will be collected from the correct account number.
We debit the rent on the first working day of every month. Except when this day falls on a weekend, then the debit will take place on the next business day.
With a direct debit, your rent is easily and timely debited, without you having to think about it every month. To set this up, you can send an email to administratie@vanderlinden.nl with the request for direct debit. You will then receive an authorization, which you can sign and return. The direct debit will then be set up for the next rental period.
Of course your own bank is leading in this, but if you want confirmation that your payment has been received correctly, you can send an email to administratie@vanderlinden.nl.
The basic rent is increased once every 12 months. If the rent is increased, the amount is legally determined. You will be informed of the increase at least two months in advance, which usually takes effect on 1 July. You will receive the message about this no later than 1 May.
Everyone may object to a rent increase. In the event of a rent increase, you will receive a letter stating the period within which you can object. Your objection must reach us within that period. More information about the conditions for an objection can be found on the website of the Huurcommissie.
With direct debit, the amount is automatically adjusted. If you transfer the rent yourself via a periodic transfer, you must adjust this yourself from 1 July.
You can read how your home should be delivered in the explanation on delivering a rental home. Is there a subsequent rental by a new tenant? Then it is possible that the new tenant wants to take over some of your things. You must arrange and record this between yourselves. The new tenant will then be responsible for the taken over things. For more information, consult the document overname movable property rental home.
Yes, as a current tenant you may transfer things to the new tenant. For this purpose, a takeover form must be completed and signed by both parties. You will arrange the costs and agreements regarding the takeover between yourselves; this is outside of our control.
When you have terminated the rental agreement, an inspector will come and inspect the property for any shortcomings/defects. During this preliminary inspection, you will be pointed out the points that need to be repaired/replaced etc. This will give you the opportunity to remedy these defects yourself. During the final inspection, which takes place approximately 14 days later, we will check whether these points have actually been remedied. If this is not the case, we will be forced to have the work carried out by a maintenance party and charge you the costs. We call these costs mutation costs.
Please note that these costs will be higher than if you carry out the repair work yourself, such as call-out charges, administration costs and a higher hourly rate.
Report this in the usual way for you (either via the community app or via vastgoed@vanderlinden.nl) or to the local police officer in your area.
No, it is not permitted to sublet your home. This is also stated in the rental agreement.
Complaints can be emailed to: vastgoed@vanderlinden.nl.
That's no problem, we can help! You can request a landlord's statement from us if you are a tenant (or have been for a maximum of three months ago) at Van der Linden. Simply send a request to verhuur@vanderlinden.nl with your name, address, and the request for a landlord's statement. You'll receive it as soon as possible.
