For tenants of private landlords
Your rent has a legal maximum.
In the Netherlands, most rental homes have a legally capped rent based on a points system. Tenants who take their case to the Rent Tribunal (Huurcommissie) win against private landlords in roughly three out of four cases. Huurgelijk makes the first step small: know where you stand for free, then decide.
