This is also often called the system of points.<\/p>\n<p>At various rent checks you can check whether your rent is appropriate for your living situation. In these checks you have to fill in information about things like your living space, the general facilities and the energy index.<\/p>\n<p>Do you live in a self-contained dwelling with its own entrance door? Then you can fill out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.huurcommissie.nl\/huurcommissie-helpt\/huurprijscheck-zelfstandige-woonruimte\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rent Assessment for self-contained accommodations<\/a> at the Rent Tribunal.<\/p>\n<p>Do you not have your own entrance door and do you share the kitchen or bathroom with other tenants?
