Airbnb Guests and Breach of Right of Peaceful Possession: Tenants' Responsibilities

As a tenant renting via Airbnb, you risk claims for breach of right of peaceful possession if guests linger. But uninvited guests themselves commit breach of right of peaceful possession.

Rules for Temporary Rental

  • Check lease agreement: prohibition on subletting.
  • Registration with municipality (capital ban outside Amsterdam).
  • Guests: require return of keys.

In Case of Nuisance

Demand to leave, then police. Article 138 Criminal Code applies to paying guests after end of contract. Supreme Court (2022): landlord remains rights holder, but Airbnb tenant may demand.

Tip: file platform complaint upon refusal. Avoid fines up to €21,750 for illegal rental.

Rent smartly, protect your right to peaceful possession of home.
