A traditional wood-burning fireplace (open haard) or wood stove (houtkachel) is a feature that offers an authentic, rustic charm that many people find appealing. It provides a powerful radiant heat and the unique ambiance that comes with the sound and smell of a real wood fire. However, this feature comes with significant responsibilities. The rental agreement should clearly state who is responsible for the annual chimney sweep (schoorsteenvegen), a critical safety measure to prevent chimney fires. The tenant is typically responsible for sourcing their own properly dried, seasoned firewood.
The Reality of Burning Wood in the Netherlands
Prospective tenants should be aware that using a wood-burning fireplace is becoming increasingly controversial in the densely populated Netherlands due to air quality concerns. The national government can issue a stookalert (burning advisory) on days with poor air quality, strongly advising against burning wood. Furthermore, many municipalities (gemeenten) are implementing stricter local rules and may even have the authority to issue a temporary stookverbod (burning ban). Therefore, a tenant should not assume that the presence of a wood-burning fireplace guarantees their right to use it whenever they wish.
