Candidate tenants cannot simply qualify for a rental property. In order to have a pleasant rental period for both tenant and landlord, Zen Home Rentals carries out an extensive screening. This minimizes the chance of problems with rent payments.

The screening consists of:

  • Requesting a recently signed employment contract or employer’s statement
  • Requesting three recent payslips, and proof of receipt of the relevant salary payments
  • Checking the financial, legal background, Wwft and creditworthiness of the candidate tenant at the BKR and EDR
  • Checking the validity and authenticity of the proof of identity, via Keesing.
  • Calling the candidate’s employer

In addition to these “hard” checks, we look at how the candidate comes across in communication from the first contact. If it doesn’t feel right, you can choose to look further.

We work on a no cure, no pay basis. For single property owners: Brokerage fee is 8% of the monthly rent. This is limited to the first 12 months of rental with no extra costs beyond this period. For multiple property owners: Brokerage fee is negotiable and depends on the number of properties. All fees exclude BTW / VAT. We charge no extra costs for contracts, marketing or initial valuation. Also, good to know we charge no agency fee to the tenant. We solely represent the landlord.

We use an asking price excluding gas, water, electricity, tv, internet and local taxes (AFV & Waterschapsbelasting apply to the tenant). All other amounts including VVE, service costs, furniture rental, OZV, Rioolheffing etc is included within the asking price.

The landlord receives taxes as property owner such as OZB and Rioolheffing. This will continue to be your responsibility.

The tenant should receive AFV and Waterschapsbelasting directly from the Gemeente and Waternet. This will be their responsibility. If the landlord pays these amounts, the rental agreement will have an article referring to this and the appropriate action to take afterwards.

First step is to gain permission from all relevant parties before renting out your property. This usually means: Your bank or mortgage lender. VvE, Co-owners, Insurance. We don’t check if you obtain the correct permissions. We only require you to confirm you have permission. We do help with meeting any required conditions such as adding articles to lease contract and sharing VvE rules with the tenant. Learn more»
