Document background
This Periodic Rental Agreement template is designed for use in the Netherlands under Dutch rental law (huurrecht). It is specifically structured to create an ongoing rental relationship without a fixed end date, as governed by the Dutch Civil Code Book 7. The document is essential for landlords and property managers who wish to establish a continuing rental arrangement, providing flexibility while ensuring legal compliance. The agreement includes all mandatory provisions required by Dutch law, including notice periods, maintenance obligations, and rent adjustment mechanisms. This template is particularly useful for residential lettings but can be adapted for commercial properties, incorporating specific provisions for service charges, utilities, and property maintenance. The Periodic Rental Agreement format is preferred in situations where parties want to establish a long-term rental relationship with built-in flexibility for both landlord and tenant regarding termination, subject to statutory notice periods.
