Can I rent out my property temporarily?

Don’t be misled by media headlines suggesting temporary letting is no longer allowed. The legislator has deliberately kept several options for temporary letting.

Since the Fixed Rental Contracts Act came into force on 1 July 2024, temporary letting has been restricted—but the following situations are still permitted:

  • Temporary letting with a diplomatic clause
  • Fixed-term contract (maximum 2 years)
  • Dutch Vacancy Act
  • Target group contracts

The Fixed Rental Contracts Act has not just restricted temporary rentals. It’s also introduced two new options: trial cohabitation contracts and renting to first-degree family members. Both options come with strict conditions and everything must be carefully outlined in the rental agreement.
