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.

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»

You may leave your home unoccupied for up to six months without reporting it. After this period, you are required to notify the municipality of the vacancy. The municipality will contact you within two months to arrange the issuance of a vacancy notice.

Failure to report the vacancy may result in a fine. The minimum fine is €4,500 for private homeowners and can be up to €9,000 per property for professional landlords. In addition to the fine, the municipality may impose a penalty payment order to enforce compliance with the reporting obligation.

Renting out in the private sector (liberalised rental) means that you can set the rent price yourself. To qualify, the property must earn enough points according to the Housing Valuation System (WWS). As of January 1, 2025, the threshold for the private sector is a monthly rent of €1,184.82, which corresponds to a minimum of 187 points.
