What is assessment of the initial rent?
The initial rent is the basic rent you agreed upon at the start of your tenancy contract. The Rent Commission assesses whether that rent is correct. This is done on the basis of the housing valuation system, also known as the points system.
The surface area, amenities, energy performance, and WOZ value are included in the home valuation. The number of points determines the maximum rent according to the WWS. This assessment concerns the home as it was when you moved in.
When do you request an assessment?
Have your rental agreement reviewed immediately if you think you are paying too much. In principle, a period of six months after the start of the tenancy applies to requesting a review. A different period applies to certain temporary contracts. We check your first rental agreement and the submission deadline.
Have you been renting for a while? In the same form, continue with rent reduction based on pointsFor a temporary contract, we first check whether an assessment at the start is still applicable.

- Following your instruction, we will submit the case to the Rent Commission, provide the documents, and oversee the proceedings.
Rent reduction and overpaid rent
If the Rent Commission sets a lower initial rent, that applies from the start of your tenancy agreement. In that case, you have paid too much rent. We explain the ruling and calculate the amount you can reclaim from your landlord.
If the agreed rent turns out to be correct, it remains the same. The Rent Commission determines the rent, but does not collect the amount to be repaid on your behalf.
Defects at the start of the tenancy
Were there already leaks, mold, or other serious defects at the start of your contract? Mention this in your application. Keep photos, the check-in report, and reports regarding the condition of the home. We will request these documents if they are required for the assessment.
Which documents do we need?
For your application, please only upload your complete rental agreement, including the attachments to the contract. A rent increase proposal is not required to assess the initial rent. We assess the rent you agreed upon at the start. We will request additional evidence later if necessary.
No cure, no pay. How does that work?
No result? No success fee. The first assessment is free and without obligation. You will receive the work and costs in writing in advance.
