Bemiddelingskosten

Last updated: 2026-07-22

Bemiddelingskosten (courtage) are mediation or agency fees charged for arranging a rental.

An agency cannot charge the tenant a fee if it also acts for the landlord on the same listing (BW art. 7:417 lid 4). Reclaim via a written demand letter; escalate to Juridisch Loket if refused.
