My home was rented out through Rotsvast Leeuwarden, the boys made sure for a smooth rental with a thorough screening of the tenants. The entire rental process was professionally taken care of for me.

I have experience with several rental agencies, but none of them were in any way traumatic. Before I signed the contract, I asked Sten what would happen if I wanted to leave earlier than 12 months. He said that if it was a bit earlier and with a good reason, I would probably get back part of my deposit. Knowing that, I signed, because he had said this at least two times before I signed, and once when I said that I needed to leave earlier. Now they wanted, in addition to keeping my deposit of € 850, another € 882 for finding a new tenant. I went to the lawyer's office about this issue, but they also said that it is not legal to keep the deposit for any reasons other than damage to the rental property (not even for breach of contract). It is also not legal to remove the right to a one-month notice period in a temporary contract, and therefore the tenant recently won a lawsuit. Since I am leaving the region in a few weeks, I can't start a lawsuit, but their attitude towards this situation was terrible. I also went to another rental agency, where they told me that it is normal to ask for a fine in this situation, but € 882 is absurdly high, and keeping the deposit because the tenant leaves earlier is not allowed. They offered me to reduce the fine to € 500, but in that way it is still cheaper to stay renting until March than losing my deposit (despite no damage to the property) and paying that fine. There is even someone else (and I'm sure there will be many more) who would gladly take over the studio, but they refused to find a reasonable solution. Someone could be satisfied with the apartment, but now it has been empty for months. I understand the rules and so on, but saying that I get back part of my deposit and not saying anything about the extra € 882 cost for finding a new tenant sounds to me like a deliberate attempt to get some extra money from someone for whom this is two months salary. Future tenants, be aware of extra costs that are not in the contract. How? I have no idea.. *Regarding your reaction, you're right. I had missed in the 'story' that the rent I pay with the allowance is € 390, as you know, since you heard at the beginning that I get rent allowance. Therefore, renting until March is no less than € 180 cheaper. And of course I am not willing to lose € 180 more to make a new tenant happy. The 'major part of my stuff' was removed as soon as I heard that it wasn't allowed, so no worries. And again, according to the law, the deposit is meant to cover damage to the property, and you know that too. It has nothing to do with early departure, breach of contract or anything like that. And again, a temporary contract includes the right to move out with a one-month notice period, EVEN IF you set at least 12 months. Look up the latest lawsuit and you will see it. Too bad you happened not to react to the part about hidden costs, but that's not surprising.
