Lease Agreements and WWS Applicability

Which lease agreements fall under WWS? Exceptions for rooms and private sector explained.

1 min leestijd

Not every lease agreement falls under WWS; room rentals, holiday homes and company dwellings are excluded (Article 7:232 BW). Social housing requires a housing association as landlord or the liberalisation threshold. In case of deviation, free price formation applies, but with notice period. Check clauses on service charges and indexation. Invalid provisions such as unilateral termination are null and void. In case of doubt: Rental Committee for qualification. Digital contracts must comply with eIDAS rules. This framework prevents abuse and provides clarity at the start of the rental period. (200 words)
