Free rent check

Is your rent legal?

Enter your address, your base rent and the property value (WOZ). We pull the floor area, construction year and energy label from the official Dutch registers, and you instantly see your points total, your legal maximum rent and the difference per month. No account, no cost, and your data is deleted automatically after thirty days.

The check interface itself currently runs in Dutch. The amounts and the outcome are universal, and your browser can translate the labels. An English interface is on its way.

Base rent per month in euros

Property value (WOZ) in euros

You can look up the WOZ value for free at wozwaardeloket.nl or find it on your municipal tax assessment. Base rent is the rent excluding service charges.

What kind of home is it?

What outdoor space belongs to the home?

Eigen buitenruimte telt volledig mee. Een gemeenschappelijk dakterras of een gedeelde tuin wordt over alle woningen verdeeld en levert daardoor veel minder op.

Start date of your contract (may be left empty)

With the start date we can also include your review deadline and the transitional rules in the outcome.

What the check looks at

Most Dutch rental homes fall under the points system (woningwaarderingsstelsel). Floor area, property value, energy label, amenities and outdoor space add up to a points total, and that total sets a legal maximum rent. Up to 143 points a home is rent controlled, from 144 to 186 points it falls under the mid-rent rules for contracts starting on or after 1 July 2024, and only above 186 points is the base rent free.

Honest about the outcome. The check gives a careful indication with a range, not a binding count. Only the Rent Tribunal's own investigation is binding.
