Maintenance
Who takes what costs and how is this solved when this occurs?
We advise you to have the real estate management carried out via us. We solve the maintenance work and ensure that the rental income goes well.
- We always let the tenant fill out a maintenance form , where the tenant can also see who is responsible for what costs.
- We communicate this with you, if you have given us a mandate, we will carry out the maintenance if this does not come under the permitted amount.
Our personal point of View:
You make a clear agreement with the tenant. Party 1 lends the house and party 2 pays money for this. If this is too much for you or you do not agree with this, you should not enter into this agreement. When there are complaints about the property and these are not solved after several attempts you can go to the rental committee to solve this, it is after all your house. However, if the house is in good condition and the owner (party 1) has fully complied with his appointment, it is not the intention to return to this later or to change the appointment unilaterally and without consultation. A scoring system only takes into account a number of basic points. Items such as location, purchase price, floor costs, paint and maintenance are not included here. This way you can ensure that the owner runs a loss and may be in financial trouble. Nevertheless, it is currently Dutch law and you can claim here.
