Terminating the rent correctly is very important. Failure to properly terminate the rent can cause you to rent the living space unnecessarily long. This leads to additional costs or ensures that the landlord does not or only partially refunds the deposit.

You must always terminate the rental agreement if you want to terminate the rent. It is important that you terminate the rent on time. The notice period is equal to the time between the rent payments.

The rent is usually paid monthly. This means that the notice period is one month. The period may not be shorter than one month and no longer than three months.

In many contracts an incorrect notice period of 2 or 3 months is used while the rent is paid monthly. This is contrary to mandatory law and therefore not valid.

An example:

You rent a room and pay a monthly rent of € 300.00. You want to terminate the contract on 1 July 2018. In this case, a notice period of one month applies. You must ensure that the landlord has received the termination letter no later than 31 May 2018.

The termination

Be sure of a correct termination.

According to the law, there are two ways to terminate the rent. You can terminate the rent by a registered letter or a bailiff’s writ. A bailiff’s exploitation is very expensive and is therefore hardly ever used.

We recommend that you terminate your rent by a registered mail. That way you can prove that you sent the letter on time and that the landlord received the termination on time. The costs for this are approximately € 8.50. If you post the letter before the bus service, it will usually be delivered the following working day.

In many cases, tenants terminate the rent by e-mail. If the landlord agrees then this is not a problem.

If the landlord does not accept this termination or if you do not receive confirmation from the landlord, you must still send the termination letter by registered mail. This way you can be sure that the landlord has received the termination letter and that the contract ends on the desired date.

Send the letter by registered mail to the landlord

Check if the letter has arrived

Bij het versturen van de brief kun je controleren of de verhuurder de brief heeft aangenomen. Als de verhuurder de brief heeft aangenomen dan mag je er vanuit gaan dat de opzegging is geslaagd.

Erg goed geholpen. Vaak weten huurders niet wat hun rechten zijn of wat ze moeten doen tegen misbruik van hun huurbazen en hun makelaars. Bumerang is een van de weinige legitieme organisaties die voor de huurders opkomt en weten wat ze moeten doen voor een betaalbare prijs. Aanrader!

No-nonsense adviseurs, doen wat ze beloven en communiceren helder en duidelijk. Recent zelfs geholpen in het weekend bij een spoedgeval, dus perfecte service. De 5 sterren meer dan waard!
