A garage lease is a rental contract for a private, enclosed, and lockable garage box (garagebox). These are commonly found in residential areas, either as part of an apartment complex or in separate blocks of garages. They are typically used for parking a vehicle, but also for general storage. Despite being physically located in a residential environment, the lease for a garage box is not a residential lease. Just like a parking space or a storage unit, a garage is legally classified as 'other business space' under Dutch law (Art. 7:230a BW). This means the robust legal protections afforded to tenants of living spaces do not apply. The relationship between the landlord and the tenant is governed almost entirely by the terms written in the contract, which is invariably drafted to favor the landlord.
Because the garage lease is an unprotected contract, the landlord has wide latitude. The rent can be set at any level and is often subject to annual increases that are not capped by any government regulation. A tenant cannot challenge the rent at the Huurcommissie. The security of tenure is also weak; the lease can typically be terminated by the landlord with a short notice period, often just one to three months, without needing to provide a strong legal reason. Furthermore, the lease agreement will contain very strict rules about the permitted use of the garage. It is almost always forbidden to use the space for commercial activities, as a workshop (werkplaats), or for habitation. Storing flammable or hazardous materials is also prohibited. Landlords and Owners' Associations (VvE's) are often vigilant about enforcing these rules, as improper use can invalidate the building's insurance. A tenant using a garage for anything other than parking a vehicle and storing simple household goods risks a swift and legally straightforward termination of their lease. The garage lease is a purely commercial transaction for a utility space, stripped of all the rights and securities of a home.
