Why outsourcing the property manegement?

There are a lot of reasons, find some key reasons below

  1. It is very important that a professional begin and final inspection are made, including photos at the time of key transfer and end of rental agreement. So that it can be proved in what condition the tenant received the home and returned it.
  2. We often notice that when an owner manages a home himself, he likes to build a good relationship with a tenant. At the end it turns out that if something is not being delivered properly by the tenant, the landlord will have difficulty remaining businesslike. We remain businesslike and enter into discussions with the tenant and ensure that everything is neatly restored.

Which types of rental agreements do you use?

We use rental contracts based on the ROZ model. Here are a number of variants that we use.

Model A (indefinite period)
At least 12 months and then it will automatically continue indefinitely.
The landlord can normally not cancel the rental agreement and the tenant has a notice period of 1 calendar month after the initial 12 months.

As an owner, you have the certainty that a tenant will rent for at least 1 year, but you do not have the flexibility to terminate the lease.

Model B (definite period)
This is a contract for a specific period that does not exceed a maximum of 2 years. No minimum period is included. The tenant has the option to terminate the lease from the start of the lease with a notice period of 1 calendar month. If you as a landlord do not cancel the lease after 2 years, this will automatically be converted into a rental agreement for an indefinite period.

As an owner you have the certainty that a tenant will definitely leave after a maximum of 2 years, but the tenant himself is also very flexible and in theory can leave after 1 month.

Model C (interim rental)
This is an agreement for a predetermined fixed period, whereby the landlord wants to live in the home again after that period. Often combined with a diplomatic clause for the landlord

Can I share a house?

We are often asked whether a home can be shared with a friend or colleague.

The municipality of Eindhoven has legislation that states that a home may not be shared with more than 2 people if they are not related by blood or have a relationship.

This would mean that you would be allowed to share a home with 1 other person according to the municipality. Only in practice it appears that an owner is often not open to this and it's not possible. If a home can be shared, this will be stated in the advertisement.
