What are the rules for letting a property in Utrecht?

1. Letting permit for your property in Utrecht

In Utrecht, a license or letting permit is required for letting rooms and properties to three or more persons who do not make up a durable household. To obtain a license, you must meet certain requirements, such as fire safety and requirements regarding the living space. You must also comply with the requirements of the housing regulations of the municipality of Utrecht.

If the property is a deregulated property, you are not required to adhere to the amount specified by the points system.
