Since July 1, 2024, the rules for temporary rental contracts in the Netherlands have become stricter. Landlords are generally no longer allowed to require a minimum rental period. This means that you as a tenant can always terminate, taking into account a notice period of usually one month. However, the law has some exceptions. In this article, we explain all the exceptions where a minimum rental period may be agreed.
Introduction
The new legislation aims to give tenants more flexibility and protection. A minimum rental period restricts this freedom.
Exceptions
There are specific situations where a minimum rental period is still allowed, such as in campus contracts or temporary social housing.
Conclusion
In most cases, you as a tenant have the right to terminate your temporary rental contract without being bound to a minimum period.
