Rental real estate agent in Amsterdam, for renting out your home

Yes, it is possible to rent out your property as an expat if you leave the Netherlands. The rental market in the Netherlands is very interesting to invest in. We can fully guide and assist you in renting out your property. However, there are important regulations or considerations that you need to take into account.

Mortgage Conditions: If you have a mortgage, you should first check whether you can rent out your property according to the terms of the mortgage provider. Many mortgage contracts have a clause that prohibits renting without the explicit permission of the mortgage provider. 

Permission from the Association of Owners (VvE): If you own an apartment, there may be a rule from the Association of Owners (VvE) regarding rental. Many VvEs have rules about renting apartments to prevent the majority of a building from being rented, which can affect the liveability and value of the apartments.

Municipal Regulation: Every municipality in the Netherlands has its own rules regarding rental. It is not allowed in all municipalities to rent out your property without permission, especially when it comes to vacation rental forms such as Airbnb. Often you must first apply for a permit.

Tax Implications: If you rent out your property, this can have tax consequences. The rental income and changes in the value of the property can affect your taxable income in box 1 or box 3 of the Dutch tax system. You can ask your tax advisor what the consequences of renting out will be for you. 

Tenant Protection: In the Netherlands, tenants build up rights. It can sometimes be difficult to remove a tenant from your property if you decide to return or use the property for another purpose. It is very important in the Netherlands to establish a clear rental contract that complies with the law and regulations, but also takes into account your interests.
The rental agents know the rules thoroughly and can advise you well on this.

If a candidate shows interest after a viewing, they must provide a comprehensive list of required documents. This enables us to carefully assess the candidate’s financial position.

We verify whether the candidate meets the income requirement, using various tools for this purpose. To reach a reliable assessment, we conduct several checks, including employer verification, credit checks (BKR), municipal and Client Due Diligence checks.

We also verify and authenticate the submitted documents. Based on our methodology, expertise, and experience, we select a reliable candidate and present them to you. Of course, you have the final say in selecting the definitive tenant.

With Inter Immo, you can rent out your house temporarily. For instance, if you are going abroad, you can do so with peace of mind, as we remain the point of contact for your tenant. Renting out a (second) home as a real estate investment is also possible with us.

We have extensive experience in this area and can provide excellent guidance. We are well-versed in laws and regulations and will use this knowledge to your advantage.

Tenancy law is a mandatory law, meaning you cannot deviate from existing legislation to the detriment of the tenant. Therefore, a good lease agreement is always legally valid. Inter Immo works with a derivative of the standard ROZ model. This includes all important articles. Based on our knowledge and experience, we also include various (legally valid) articles to protect the landlord. Thus, not only the tenant, but also the landlord is well protected and covered. Since we offer tailored services, we also incorporate any specific wishes and requirements of the landlord into the lease agreement, always in line with existing legislation. By drafting a clear lease agreement, we prevent potential disputes later on.

Yes, when renting out your house or apartment in Amsterdam, you will have a consistent point of contact. We value personal contact and involvement. A single person who knows all the ins and outs of your wishes and property ensures clear communication and minimal confusion.

Inter Immo drafts rental agreements that provide good protection for landlords against potential damages. Although it’s rare, we still work with a security deposit. We will discuss the amount with you, so you certainly have a say in it. The deposit is transferred to you. If any damage is caused, you can deduct the repair costs from the deposit.

Before handing over the property to the tenant, we will prepare a detailed inspection report. The state of the property is recorded in this report. The inspection report is supplemented with a series of photos of the property before it was rented out. You receive the inspection report and are required to sign for it. This helps to avoid any misunderstandings concerning the property.
