A tenant's right to privacy and the quiet enjoyment of their home (huurgenot) is a cornerstone of Dutch rental law. This is reinforced by the constitutional right to the inviolability of the home (huisrecht). A landlord does not have the right to enter a tenant's home whenever they please. The moment a tenant signs a lease and receives the keys, the property becomes their private domain. Any clause in a rental agreement that gives the landlord an unrestricted right to enter is legally void.
While the landlord retains ownership, they have transferred the right of use and access to the tenant. They can only enter the property for specific, legitimate reasons and must do so in a way that respects the tenant's privacy.
Unlike in some countries, Dutch law does not specify a rigid notice period for entry (e.g., a mandatory 24 or 48 hours). Instead, the system is based on the principle of mutual agreement (in overleg). The process should be:
Essentially, the landlord must obtain the tenant's permission for each non-emergency visit. The entry must always be at a reasonable time—not late at night or on a Sunday morning, unless mutually agreed.
Legitimate reasons for a landlord to request entry include:
In a true emergency, such as a fire, a major gas leak, or a burst water pipe that is causing significant damage, the landlord has the right to enter immediately without prior permission to mitigate the damage. However, this exception is reserved for genuine, urgent situations, not for routine matters.
