A huismeester (caretaker, concierge, or janitor) is an employee of the landlord or Owner's Association (VvE) who is responsible for the day-to-day practical management of an apartment building or complex. They are the eyes, ears, and hands of the property management on-site. For tenants in large buildings, the huismeester is often the most visible and accessible point of contact for a variety of issues, acting as a bridge between the residents and the more distant property management company (beheerder) or landlord. The cost of the huismeester's salary is considered a service and is typically passed on to the tenants as part of the monthly servicekosten.

They are not responsible for major structural problems (which belong to the owner) or for contractual matters like your lease agreement or rent payments (which are handled by the property manager).

When considering renting in a large complex, it can be insightful to subtly inquire about the reputation of the huismeester.
