For tenants checking they don't overpay, landlords meeting Wet betaalbare huur compliance, and expats navigating Dutch rent law in English.

WORKS IN ENGLISH TOO — The Dutch rent law tool that actually speaks English. Designed for the expat market that landlords have been counting on to stay confused.

The total maps to a maximum monthly rent and a housing segment (sociaal, midden, or vrije sector). Updated annually as the government adjusts the tables.
