How it works
How to verify a landlord in the Netherlands.
We compare the rental address, legal ownership and landlord details before you pay.
Step 1
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.
Enter property address
Step 2
Check the legal property owner
Review the available property ownership information and compare the registered owner with the person or company offering the rental.
