The single biggest reason internationals do nothing about their rent is the fear of legal costs. So here is the whole picture in plain numbers: what is free, the two fixed fees, and precisely how no cure, no pay works.
No hidden hourly rates, no consultation fees, no charge for being told you have no case. If we cannot help, you do not pay.
| Service | What it costs | When you pay |
|---|---|---|
| Free Rent Check Your legal maximum rent, calculated | Free | Never. It is genuinely free. |
| Case assessment An honest read on whether you have a case | Free | Never. No charge to find out. |
| Rent Increase Check Increase checked, objection letter written | 79 euro | Fixed fee, agreed up front. |
| Contract Review Your contract read for illegal clauses | 149 euro | Fixed fee, agreed up front. |
| Rent reduction case We take your rent to the Huurcommissie | No cure, no pay | Only if you win. A clear, agreed share of what you gain. |
If the rent does not come down, the casework costs you nothing.
We are a tenancy legal service, not a bar registered law office, which is exactly why we are allowed to work on a pure no cure, no pay basis for rent reduction cases.
Asking us a question costs nothing. The free check and the case assessment are exactly that, free.
If you do not have a case, we tell you, and you walk away owing us nothing. We would rather be honest than bill you.
Every fee is fixed or agreed in writing before any work starts. Nothing lands on your bill that you did not see coming.
One small thing to know, honestly: the Huurcommissie itself charges a tenant fee of 25 euro to handle a case, and it is refunded to you if you win. We are always upfront about costs like this so nothing is a surprise.
We would rather you understand the process than rush in. Here are the things tenants ask us most.
Talk to a specialist in English. No script, no pressure, just a straight answer about your rent.
Talk to usYes. The rent check and our assessment of your case cost you nothing, with no obligation to go further. We only earn anything if you choose to pursue a case and it succeeds.
It is a clear, agreed percentage of what you gain, and you see the exact figure in writing before we file anything. Because it comes out of money you would not otherwise have had, you are always better off than doing nothing.
Bar registered advocaten are restricted from pure no cure no pay arrangements. We operate as a tenancy legal service, which is a different and entirely legitimate model that huurteams and tenant services in the Netherlands use. It lets us carry the risk instead of you.
The 79 euro increase check and the 149 euro contract review are for completed work, so they are not contingent like the rent reduction case. We are clear about that up front so you can decide before you commit.
The check is free and the assessment is free. You only ever pay when there is a real result in your hands. Start now and see your number.
