Landlords of rooms or apartments to students in the municipality of Groningen need a landlord’s permit since 1 January 2019. Room mediation agencies that mediate in housing for students need a mediation permit from the same date.<\/p>\n

The vast majority of landlords do well, but a limited group of landlords cause malpractice. Examples are threats, intimidation, overdue maintenance and wrongfully charging mediation fees. With the permits the municipality of Groningen wants to tackle these malpractices.<\/p>\n

In general, landlords need a rental permit if they rent out three or more living units in a building to students. For the exact rules for these permits, see the website of the municipality of Groningen<\/a>. Rental permits can also be applied for on that page.<\/p>\n

If you own a building and want to use it for room rentals, you need a conversion permit. Previously, this permit was called a withdrawal permit. In the municipality of Groningen these permits are only issued in very exceptional cases. For more information, see the website of the municipality of Groningen<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If a landlord or agent causes malpractice, it is possible that the permit will be taken away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
