Check legal ownership and business registration
Fake landlords often pressure renters to pay before a viewing. Housetective checks landlord communication for identity risks, payment red flags and common scam patterns.
How to verify a landlord in the Netherlands
We compare the rental address, legal ownership and landlord details before you pay.
Enter the Dutch rental address
Start with the complete property address, including the postcode, house number and apartment addition. This connects the verification to the exact rental being offered.
Check the legal property owner
Review the available property ownership information and compare the registered owner with the person or company offering the rental.
Rights
Verify the landlord or rental agency
When a company or rental agency is involved, check its official company name, KVK number, registration status and business details.
Chamber of Commerce
Compare the names and documents
Compare the names shown in the ownership information, rental agreement, identification, payment request and agency details. Resolve any unexplained difference before paying.
