Commercial Tenancy Law

The rental market is changing rapidly. Fixed-term tenancies have largely disappeared, mid-market rents are regulated and energy labels now form part of the points system. As a landlord, you are dealing with lower rents, more complex rules and greater uncertainty about returns. At the same time, proceedings before the Rent Tribunal (Huurcommissie) and the courts are becoming more frequent.

For developers, investors and housing associations, this calls for a sharp legal and strategic approach.

There is also a lot happening in the retail sector. High rents and energy costs, changing consumer behaviour and online competition put shopping areas under strain. The result is more discussions about rent levels, renegotiation of lease terms and termination of leases. At the same time, sustainability and changes in the use of retail space become increasingly important.
