Roof Repair Rental Property
Tenant or landlord? One call is all it takes. We handle urgent leaks, coordinate with your verhuurder, and provide clear English documentation so you never have to navigate the Dutch rental system alone.
Roof Issues in Your Rental? We Handle Everything
Living in a Dutch rental property and dealing with a leaking roof can be stressful, especially when you are not sure who is responsible. Under Dutch rental law (huurrecht), the landlord (verhuurder) is almost always responsible for structural repairs, including the roof. But getting them to act quickly is another story.
That is where we come in. We act as the bridge between tenant and landlord, providing professional inspections, clear documentation, and fast repairs. Whether you rent from a private landlord or a housing corporation (woningcorporatie), we know how the system works and we communicate everything in English.
- Direct landlord communication - we contact your verhuurder on your behalf with quotes and reports
- Professional damage reports - photos, assessments, and cost estimates that landlords and insurers accept
- Emergency-first approach - we stop the leak immediately, then handle paperwork and approvals

Who Pays? Dutch Rental Property Law
Under Dutch huurrecht (rental law), the landlord is responsible for maintaining the structural elements of the property, including the roof. This means roof repairs, leak fixing, and gutter maintenance are almost always the landlord's financial responsibility, not the tenant's.
The tenant is only responsible for minor, day-to-day maintenance and for reporting problems promptly. If you notice a leak, damp spot, or missing tiles, inform your landlord in writing immediately. Delaying can shift some liability to you.
- Structural roof repairs are the landlord's responsibility
- Storm damage and major leaks fall under verhuurder duties
- Tenants must report issues promptly and in writing
- We provide documentation that supports both parties
Tip: The Huurcommissie Can Help
If your landlord refuses to repair a leaking roof, you can file a complaint with the Huurcommissie (Rent Tribunal). They can order the landlord to make repairs and may even reduce your rent until the issue is resolved. We can provide the technical reports and documentation you need for your case.
