So I didn’t really have a contract but I was living in the house for 2 years. The previous roommate was the main tenant. I just sent two forms (with the landlord’s and main tenants details) to the government just to register my address. The main tenant moved out in July and the landlord is currently in the process of m... | r/rentbusters | comment | r/Rentbusters | 2024-03-08 |
I think the contract is indefinite so there is no end date | r/rentbusters | comment | r/Rentbusters | 2024-03-08 |
Ok just wait for the new contract and don’t do anything before both you and your landlord have signed it. Don’t let them know anything, keep dumb and act when everything is fully signed.
About the slanted parts, it doesn’t seem like those would add any meaningful points. Just to double check: no storage space for you ... | r/rentbusters | comment | r/Rentbusters | 2024-03-08 |
Yess that’s good, others have also advised the same so I am planning to do that.
No bike storages no. I just double checked and it says no energy label. I input the address of my parents to make sure nothing is faulty and they do have an energy label, but my address doesn’t. | r/rentbusters | comment | r/Rentbusters | 2024-03-08 |

I saw you saying something about the landlord wanting to renew the contract. You've been there for over 2 years, by definition it is an indefinite contract, regardless of what the new contract states. You could stick to your current contract if it is in your name. If he wants to change it to reflect your name and make ... | r/rentbusters | comment | r/Rentbusters | 2024-03-08 |
u/EuthaNasi its not as simple as that. He was a tenant for two years which means he might be too late to ask for a reduction whether he was the main tenant or not.

No energy label is not a victory. The landlord can still get one and in my experience, they always do when you go to the HC | r/rentbusters | comment | r/Rentbusters | 2024-03-08 |
And what if I wasn’t included in the old contract? Like my name was not registered there. The landlord is basically (on paper and legally at least), starting a new contract for the property where I will be the main tenant. Cos according to the law, the old contract (which was from the previous main tenant) was terminat... | r/rentbusters | comment | r/Rentbusters | 2024-03-08 |
If the label is registered after the starting date of the contract or if the label is fully missing, my experience with the HC is that they resort to the building year which is usually beneficiant for the tenant | r/rentbusters | comment | r/Rentbusters | 2024-03-08 |
That was before June 2023. Now the Supreme court ruled that the label cannot be automatically excluded for being registered late. | r/rentbusters | comment | r/Rentbusters | 2024-03-08 |
Was there any document showing that you were living there? | r/rentbusters | comment | r/Rentbusters | 2024-03-08 |
Verhuurders verklaring (551) and verklaring van inwoning (750) are the only two official/legal documents that show that I am living there. | r/rentbusters | comment | r/Rentbusters | 2024-03-08 |
Were you paying rent directly to the landlord? | r/rentbusters | comment | r/Rentbusters | 2024-03-08 |
No. To the main tenant | r/rentbusters | comment | r/Rentbusters | 2024-03-08 |
Ah! Thanks for the correction and apologies for the misinformation.
So how could this pan out? The landlord gets it checked (at some expense?) and the price changes, possibly to the disadvantage of the renter. In the worst case scenario it is a C or B? That would still result in a decreased rental rate, no? If the lan... | r/rentbusters | comment | r/Rentbusters | 2024-03-08 |

Thanks. Im not sure if the corridor's size should be counted as that was not mentioned in the point system. It only asks if there is or not corridor. | r/rentbusters | comment | r/Rentbusters | 2024-03-08 |
Corridors, storage spaces, laundry rooms, garages and basements still count. As long as they are at least 2m2. They give 0,75 point per m2.
Living space (living room, dining room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom) counts for 1 point per m2. | r/rentbusters | comment | r/Rentbusters | 2024-03-08 |

May I ask what does it mean exactly? I am unable to understand the implication of the sentence.
Is there a problem in meeting the landlord in person for some circumstances? | r/rentbusters | comment | r/Rentbusters | 2024-04-08 |

Hi all,
I've been living in the current flat for 2+ years on a shared contract with my current flatmate. She's moving out this month. For the new contract my landlord wants me to sign as the main tenant and subrent a room in the flat under my contract. No separate contracts, not a shared contract.
The question is:... | r/rentbusters | post | r/Rentbusters | 2024-05-08 |
So you will be main tenant and then owner sublets a room it to somebody else's also? | r/rentbusters | comment | r/Rentbusters | 2024-05-08 |
i'd be a tenant and i'd have to provide a subrent contract for the new flatmate. it feels fishy as fuck, the new flatmate doesn't care as long as she has a place to do her studies. my concern is mostly about keeping the flat bustable under the new regulations | r/rentbusters | comment | r/Rentbusters | 2024-05-08 |
Absolutely not, that means you're on the hook if the other person doesn't pay rent. | r/rentbusters | comment | r/Rentbusters | 2024-06-08 |

Feels a bit like a vacation home. Honestly, they've done quite a good job with the place. It looks good. Not €1500 a month good, but sure does look nice.

That’s the question. Also I offered paying 6 months of rent in advance, to which they claimed their policy didn’t allow that. | r/rentbusters | post | r/Rentbusters | 2024-06-08 |
The solution seems simple. Don’t tell them about the trial period? When I moved here I had a trial period in my contract. The agency I rented from never asked about it and I never mentioned it. Was never an issue | r/rentbusters | comment | r/Rentbusters | 2024-06-08 |
How did you avoid sharing your contract with them? Every agency I talk to wants my contract, including over 9000 other documents, sometimes just to be considered for a viewing.
I.e. how did you prove your future income from a new job? | r/rentbusters | comment | r/Rentbusters | 2024-06-08 |
Ofcourse they can. Its a massive liability. What if you don't pass your trial period? That's a massive risk for you and the person/company renting you the appartment. | r/rentbusters | comment | r/Rentbusters | 2024-06-08 |
Just get letter of employment from HR instead of sending your contract. | r/rentbusters | comment | r/Rentbusters | 2024-06-08 |
The trial period seems pretty standard in Dutch employment (it may even be law) so its kinda weird that they do it but I mean they can always find another vague reason not to let to you. Best not to mention the trial period | r/rentbusters | comment | r/Rentbusters | 2024-06-08 |
Thanks | r/rentbusters | comment | r/Rentbusters | 2024-06-08 |
As other people have said, you should be able to request a letter from your employer confirming your employment. That is what my employer shared with the rental agency. That letter will show your start date though, so the rental agency could infer that you are starting a new job and likely have a trial period.

I don't know if it's illegal (probably not?)
But that's definitely a risk for them if you are in the trial period so I expect they would like to choose somebody that have allready stable job | r/rentbusters | comment | r/Rentbusters | 2024-07-08 |
Yes I did, thanks to your comment. I asked to see their policy, and then they deflected and talked about the trial period instead.
