What energy label or index is required when letting a property?

When handing over the keys it’s mandatory to provide the tenant with a copy of a valid energy label. The energy label also corresponds with a number of points in the Woningwaarderingsstelsel and a high energy label may therefore mean the difference between a maximised rent price or free range.

Please see the Interhouse factsheet for more information on energy labels and indices. Interhouse employees can also give you customised advice on this.
