Be sure of the biggest savings for the smallest effort thanks to our unique smart system and expertise.
No cure no pay

Do your bit
By lowering together, you contribute to a fair rent for your neighbors and other tenants nationwide, because we can then continue until the balance in our rental housing market is restored.
We want to make it possible for everyone in the Netherlands to obtain a fair rental price, so that tenants can better build their own future and that of the Netherlands.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much the final reduction amounts to differs per case, but on average we see that participants reduce by €182 per month.
The biggest outlier we encountered was an apartment in Rotterdam; here the rent has been reduced from €1575 to €530.41 per month, a saving of €12,535 per year!
Tenants in the Netherlands are well protected and can therefore not be evicted if they lower their rent price via a legal procedure.
It’s true that if you have a temporary contract, your landlord can threaten not to renew. Unfortunately most landlords are not planning to renew the contract anyway, regardless of whether you lowered or not.
Temporary contracts are usually not extended, because it is cheaper for landlords to raise the price for a new tenant and this way they can prevent you from getting more rights with a permanent contract. The landlord can also sell the house for more if there is no tenant in it, which makes it extra attractive to retain the flexibility of temporary contracts.
Huurprijshulp does not cost you money directly, but it shares in your savings. The moment you start paying less rent, we charge two months of the savings and/or 30% of the overpaid rent you get back. So suppose your rent is reduced from €850 to €750 per month. For this, you will get back 5 months of overpaid rent and from next month you will start paying less. At the moment you get €500 back, we ask for a one-time €350 (€150 on the €500 you get back + €200 for all the months you will have to pay €100 less in the future).
In order to be able to help as many people as possible, we charge a minimum of €50 for a profit. This happens occasionally for studios that have overpaid service charges and with Huurprijshulp get, for example, €140 back on their annual statement. Although 30% of this is €42, we charge €50 as a minimum. This allows us to help a larger proportion of tenants.
Some people do not get a refund, but can only reduce the current price they have. So in that case, our share is only two months of the savings and you get those savings per month and not all at once. Because we do not want you to experience higher costs than before, we charge this amount in two times if you want. So from the second month of lower rent, you already feel the benefit and all future months are yours as well.
If it turns out that no savings are possible for you, you pay nothing, even if Huurprijshulp has paid legal costs for you at the Huurcommissie.
