Prevent Home Peace Breach: Technology and Legal Prevention

As a tenant, you can proactively secure your home against unlawful entry. Combine technology with contractual agreements for optimal protection.

Technical Measures

  • Smart locks: Digital access with app notifications (e.g., Nuki or Yale).
  • Cameras and sensors: Legal indoor surveillance, no obligation to notify neighbors.
  • Double-cylinder locks: Prevent use of landlord's key.

Legal Prevention

  1. Amend rental agreement: explicit requirement of consent for access.
  2. Draft written house rules with landlord.
  3. Member of Huurdersbelang: free legal advice.

According to recent case law (Court of Appeal The Hague, 2024), additional locks are permitted provided the rental value does not decrease. In case of violation: immediate police report with video evidence. Invest €200 in smart tech and save yourself trouble.

Prevention is cheaper than litigation: protect yourself today!
