Just as a weekend to earn some extra money through your home to rent it out via Airbnb. Due to a ruling from the the Raad van State (RvS), that, since the start of this week, without a permit, in Amsterdam, the netherlands. So what does this mean, exactly? The six questions on the new letting situation in the country’s capital.
In the Netherlands, the Huisvestingswet. It says that it is forbidden by the church-designated housing “from housing”, this also includes the rental of dwellings at the verhuurplatform Airbnb. This prohibition does not apply if you have a permit from the municipality.
The municipality of Amsterdam is, however, an exception to this general rule. In the huisvestingsverordening of the municipality is that the residents required a permit is not required if they meet certain conditions, including that it is in advance of signing the lease with the city.
Yes. The Council of State, ruled Thursday that, as a church, as a relief from the national Huisvestingswet does not have any to give. In accordance with the law, it is prohibited, without a licence, with a living area of the building to see, even if it is for a short period of time.
An Amsterdam-based lessor was not in the jurisdiction of the church was held, and she had her dwelling-place by 2018, with a couple of American tourists are let to log in. She was given a fine of 6,000 euros.
The landlord did not agree to the penalty and in appeal, visit the Council of State, after having been at the court was wrong got. The Stainless steel award means to her, she’s fine, no need to pay for it, because of the special rules of the church, never in the centre of Amsterdam huisvestingsverordening included, were allowed to be used.
No, because with the exception of Amsterdam, is declared null and void and the city not licensing it has. “Of all the vacation rentals in Amsterdam, all of a sudden forbidden,” said the alderman Laurens Ivens (Housing) on Thursday, in conversation with the amsterdam tv channel AT5. What Wednesday have to say, if, as of Thursday, no more.
No, probably not. This is because it is still, however, the question of the extent to which the municipality of Amsterdam, the new situation can be maintained, in which all of the woningverhuren using Airbnb, and sites such as Booking.com are not permitted.
“We’re going to have to really maintain it,” says He at AT5, “but we will continue to focus on the ones that are more than thirty days in leases. Because these are the people who are in the conjunction of the price of the game, and put up the money want to earn money from their own home.”
The municipality is waiting, probably, on the Law, with tourist rental accommodation, which may be this summer, it is believed. The law also gives local municipalities the various tools in order to maintain, and cleaner to set up. In the law, including a sign – in and registration included.
Until this time, it is in the letting situation in the city of Amsterdam in a sort of twilight zone, where the rental through Airbnb is illegal, but it is only in extreme cases, remain in place.
