The Lodger Agreement (Hospitaverhuurovereenkomst) is specifically designed for situations where a homeowner in the Netherlands wishes to rent out a room in their property while continuing to live there as their primary residence. This type of agreement differs from standard rental contracts as it falls under different legal provisions of Dutch law, offering more flexibility in terms of termination and house rules. The document is commonly used for student accommodation, young professionals, or temporary housing solutions. It includes essential provisions for room rental, shared facilities usage, payment terms, and house rules, while ensuring compliance with Dutch housing regulations and local municipality requirements. The agreement should be used when the owner remains resident in the property and wants to maintain primary control over their home while renting out a portion of it.
