Letting vacant housing - Gemeente Leeuwarden

What are the rules

You may rent out an empty building as residential accommodation for up to 10 years. For example, a space in an office or school.
You will first be granted a licence for two years. You can renew it a maximum of eight times for one year.

It is up to you to decide how much rent you charge. The local authority determines the maximum rent through the point system for rental properties.
The tenant has a minimum notice period of one month. The landlord has a minimum notice period of three months.
The lease will automatically end when the licence expires.
The rental agreement is written on paper. The contract clearly states temporary letting under the Vacant Property Act. The contract also states that the landlord has a licence and until when this licence is valid.

As a landlord, you run the risk of the rental being treated as normal rental. In that case, the rules for normal rentals apply.
