HUURTEAM UTRECHT STANDS FOR FAIR RENTAL PRICES, PROPER HOUSING AND RESPECTABLE LANDLORDS

I’m renting a room in Utrecht. I thought I had a temporary rental agreement. I thought I had to move out at the end of the contract. Huurteam Utrecht advised me that a landlord is obligated to inform the tenant on time if the landlord doesn’t want to continue the rental agreement. In my case the landlord forgot. My contract automatically continued. Now I don’t have to move out. My contract is now for an indefinite period of time. No more worries!

With the help of Huurteam Utrecht I was able to claim the agency fees I paid back. I didn’t realise that in my case it was forbidden to ask an agency fee. Huurteam advised me on how to proceed and what I should do to get my money back. It took a long time. I threatened to go to court and that I would hire a lawyer. In the end my landlord finally caved an I got my money back.

I had no idea that I could reduce my rent price and that Huurteam Utrecht could help me free of charge. Thanks to the huurteam I started an procedure to reduce my rent price and about the maintenance backlog. Because of the maintenance backlog my rent price was further reduced. Even after the procedure was finished I could turn to the huurteam for advice.

Huurteam Utrecht advised us to start a procedure to check our service costs. We learned that for two years we were paying too much money for the service costs. We received a verdict from the Huurcommissie and the landlord has to pay me 1.000 euro’s back. Thank you so much Huurteam Utrecht!
