Temporary leasing your property

Since June 2016 it is possible to temporary lease your house or apartment up to 2 years. Temporary leasing was introduced by the Dutch government to create a higher circulation in the rental market. Before 2016 it was only allowed by law to contract a temporary rental agreement via the Diplomat Clause, where it had to be provable that you were residing elsewhere because of employment. Another option was to temporary lease your property via the Dutch Vacancy Law (Leegstandswet), which meant that your property was active in sale. The last option was meant for owners who could not get their property sold but already purchased a new property to live. Both options had much paperwork and long procedures.
