Common questions

What is a short-term contract? A short-term lease is a rental agreement that is valid for a fixed, shorter period of time, usually up to nine months. It can be, for example, daily rent, weekly rent or monthly rent.

Do I need a written agreement? Yes, even if verbal agreements are valid, a written agreement is always recommended to avoid future disputes and misunderstandings.

What is included in the rent? It is important to specify what is included in the rent, such as electricity, water, heating, internet and other amenities. This should be clearly stated in the agreement.

Can the tenant assign the agreement? No, the tenant may not assign the agreement or sublet the home without the landlord's written permission.

What happens if the tenant does not pay the rent? If the tenant delays paying the rent for more than a week, the landlord can terminate the agreement with immediate effect according to the Rent Act.

Is there tenure protection? No, in the case of short-term letting of holiday accommodation (less than nine months), tenure protection does not normally apply.

Tips for a Smooth Rental

1. The preparation: Inspect and document the rental object carefully before renting. Take pictures and make an inventory list.
2. Communication: Have an open and clear communication with the tenant from the beginning. Clarify all terms and expectations.
3. Payment: Ensure that the tenant pays the rent on time and that the deposit is paid before moving in.
4. Agreement: Make sure all parties have a signed copy of the rental agreement. Keep the agreement in a safe place.
5. Maintenance: Clearly state in the agreement who is responsible for maintenance and repairs during the rental period.
