Wijn & Stael’s tenancy law attorneys are familiar with every aspect and detail of tenancy law. This enables them to provide you with the best possible advice on every issue you can expect to come up against when renting out residential properties or leasing out business premises. If a dispute arises with the other party and the two of you are unable to resolve this dispute yourselves, you can rely on our attorneys to vigorously defend your case in the civil courts or before the rent tribunal (Huurcommissie).

Drafting and terminating lease and tenancy agreements
A number of mandatory provisions apply when renting out residential properties and leasing out business premises. These provisions vary, depending on whether the property is a residential property, retail store, office or unbuilt immovable property like a car park. Special consideration will also need to be given to a lease or tenancy agreement if it relates to a property that is to be renovated or built from scratch. This makes it important to prepare an appropriate lease or tenancy agreement for each property. The tenancy law attorneys at Wijn & Stael will be pleased to prepare these agreements for you. They can also assess the lease and tenancy agreements drafted by other parties or enter into negotiations about them for you. If you are a lessor or landlord and want to terminate a lease or tenancy agreement, your reasons for doing this will need to be legally acceptable. For example, renovation, urgent own use, rent arrears or serious nuisance by the lessee or tenant. Our attorneys will help you justify your reasons and achieve your goal - via a lawsuit, if necessary. They will also represent you in any eviction proceedings.

Always up-to-date on the latest legislation and regulations
The attorneys in our Tenancy Law Section have a vast knowledge of and a pragmatic approach to tenancy law. If you find yourself embroiled in a tenancy-law dispute - about a rent price review, service charges, defects in a rented or leased property, a purchase option or a derogative clause in a lease or tenancy agreement - our attorneys will start with an in-depth analysis of your position and options. They will then negotiate with the other party or initiate litigation in the civil courts. They are very familiar with the latest regulations and come up with a targeted approach with them in mind.
