Leasing under the Vacancy Law

Do you have a house in Apeldoorn that is currently up for sale, but is the selling process taking longer than expected? Start leasing it under the Vacancy Law! This law allows you to temporarily rent out a house that is up for sale, while it stays on the market. Expats Verhuur Apeldoorn is glad to offer advice on this type of lease.

Vacancy Law Apeldoorn

Renting out a house under the Vacancy Law requires you to obtain a permit. You can apply for this permit at the city council of Apeldoorn, and the costs are approximately €95. The Vacancy Law permit allows the home to be leased for a maximum period of five years. There are several conditions to the Vacancy Law:

• The property must have a residential purpose
• You must be able to prove your ownership of the house
• The house has to be clearly and visibly up for sale
• No one can be registered at the address
• You cannot lease more than two houses at a time

Before you decide to rent out your house in Apeldoorn under the Vacancy Law, be sure to also discuss this decision with your mortgage lender and your insurer.

Benefits of the Vacancy Law Apeldoorn

Leasing a house under the Vacancy Law in Apeldoorn has many benefits. First of all, it allows you to avoid double costs, as the house is still on the market while you simultaneously receive a rental income. Another great advantage to the Vacancy Law is the fact that you only need to offer limited rental protection. You can, for example, set the rental price yourself, and the rental agreement can be terminated more easily once the house gets sold. By leasing under the Vacancy Law, you also protect the house from vandalism or burglary as it is still occupied by tenants.
