You can cancel your contract by sending a registered letter to the landlord. This is a letter that you post at the post office and for which you pay extra so that the landlord has to sign for receipt. This letter must state:
- Name of landlord;
- date you'll send the letter;
- Subject;
- Your name;
- The address where you are now renting (or where you were renting);
- When you want to cancel the rental agreement. Please note the statutory notice period (a payment term).
- Request a refund of deposit with your bank account number (optional);
- Your new address (optional).
Send this letter by registered letter, but also by email just to be sure. You can find a sample letter in our Downloads (Dutch and English). If you have any further questions, please let us know! We are happy to take a look for you.
