The Notary Rent Agreement is a specialized form of rental contract used in the Netherlands when parties seek additional security and formal authentication of their rental arrangement. This document is particularly relevant for high-value properties, commercial leases, or situations where parties want extra legal certainty. The agreement must be executed before a Dutch civil law notary, who verifies the identities of all parties and ensures compliance with Dutch law. While not mandatory for most rental situations, a Notary Rent Agreement provides benefits such as immediate enforceability, official date certainty, and verified signatures.
