Clear contracts
Tenancy law is not always unambiguous and clear. For example, when is a rule mandatory, and when are you not allowed to amend the contract to the disadvantage of the tenant? And on which points is a rental agreement not binding? Does tenancy law raise questions for you? As specialists in tenancy law, we know the pitfalls that exist, but also the opportunities. We assist you with clearly drafted contracts that minimise the risk of disputes. Or we can help you with the formulation of a purchase option clause or a clause for periodic rent adjustment. Naturally, everything is tailored to your specific tenancy situation.
Our knowledge is your knowledge
We keep our professional knowledge up to date and follow developments closely. A number of us are members of the Dutch Association of Landlord and Tenant Law Practitioners (Vereniging van Huurrechtadvocaten, VHA). For our part, we transfer knowledge to third parties, such as via publications in journals, which can be found on our website. In addition, some of our colleagues are editors of Cremers Huurecht, a publication containing all statutory regulations and case law in this area. This is how we share our knowledge with others.
