Tenancy law
In the Netherlands, landlords of real estate are bound by strict rules and tenants generally receive a lot of rental protection. The rental of real estate can generally be divided into three categories, namely residential space, retail space and other business space. This last category often includes office spaces and other business spaces that are not retail spaces. Tenants of residential and retail spaces in particular enjoy great rental protection and in the event of a conflict between a landlord and a tenant, both parties would be wise to engage an expert lawyer.
Our lawyers specialize in rental law. They assist both landlords and tenants and can provide you with practical, fast and detailed advice. We also assist you in the unlikely event of a dispute, for example in lease termination or eviction procedures.
