The Residence Agreement serves as the primary legal document governing the relationship between landlords and tenants in residential property rentals in the Netherlands. This agreement is essential for establishing clear terms and conditions for residential tenancies while ensuring compliance with Dutch housing law, particularly the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek) and the Housing Act (Woningwet). The document is used when renting out any type of residential property, from apartments to single-family homes, and can be adapted for various situations including private rentals, social housing, and student accommodation. It includes crucial information about rent payments, maintenance responsibilities, security deposits, and termination conditions, while incorporating mandatory provisions required by Dutch law to protect both landlord and tenant interests.
