Service costs are costs in addition to the basic rent. If the rent is not specified then the rental fee is all-in. Service costs may be: minor repairs, garbage removal, landlord service, electronic equipment, insurance, common rooms and administrative costs.

After reading through the A&N Vastgoed listings there may besome confusion to the structuring of the rental fee. It is therefore important to understand what the rental fee includes. A&N Vastgoed rents out several types of properties:

Unfurnished: this means there are no floor coverings and the walls will need to be painted and decorated.

Furnished: there are floor coverings and the walls have been decorated and a part of the service costs are included in the rent.

Furnished and serviced: this is the same as furnished but also includes all services, such as gas, water and power. This is what is meant by an all-in rent. In some properties the meters are internal. Others have external meters and most of the properties with external meters usually have an all-in rental fee.

It depends on a number of things, such as: who will occupy the house, which energy provider is used, the size of the property, use of equipment and the type of insulation the property has. The provider estimates the expected use of power and water based on previous usage and charges an fixed amount per month. Once a year actual usage is compared to estimated usage and the difference must be paid by the renter if usage is higher, or received from the provider if too much has been paid. In the following overview you can find the average use per year website NIBUD.

A&N Vastgoed cannot of course provide any guarantees, but as an indication we use the following norm. For a household of 1 person the energy costs are around  €150,- and for each additional person add €50.

As an inhabitant of The Hague you are faced with a number of taxes that have to be paid every year. The Gemeentelijke Belastingdienst invoices taxes such as Garbage romaval taxes (afvalstoffenheffing). As a tenant you are responsible for your part of the house that you rent.

Prices for garbage removal 2011:
1 person: €250.20
2 people: € 271.68
3 or more people: € 293.52

About 75% of all the houses for rent in the Netherlands are part of the social sector and are meant for people who have difficulty in providing housing for themselves because of income or other circumstances. These houses are usually owned by large corporations. If you would like to rent a house within this sector you should check www.woonnethaaglanden.nl. A&N Vastgoed operates in the free or private sector. This market has developed because the demand for properties was larger than what was on offer from the corporations. In addition, there is also a greater demand for better and more expensive housing. A&N Vastgoed is part of a growing market that creates opportunities for an increasing population to rent properties in The Hague. Because the private sector is structured differently to the social sector, other rules apply.

If you find a suitable candidate that matches the conditions set by A&N Vastgoed and the owner, the candidate you propose will be able to rent the house once they have registered and paid the fee.

By charging a mediation fee A&N Vastgoed can offer its services to tenants. This consists of: no waiting lists, broad online listings, personal guidance in the search for a suitable property and excellent customer service. We are very careful not to overcharge and to this end A&N Vastgoed has the lowest mediation fee in The Hague.

When you rent a house from A&N Vastgoed your registration fee will be reconciled against the first invoice. Because of the large number of properties we have listed a large percentage of people succeed in finding a house with the help of A&N Vastgoed. It is therefor a good idea to register with us.

If you are interested in a property and decide to rent it you can take an option on it. The costs of this option may vary between € 200 and € 400. What you are paying is actually a deposit and this will later be reconciled against the outstanding amount of the first month's invoice. If you take an option on a house we will reserve it for three days. A&N Vastgoed will introduce you to the owner  and it is he/she that eventually decides whether you are suitable to rent the house. If the owner doesn’t think you are a suitable candidate the money will be refunded to you and the property will be put back on the market again. If the owner offers the property to you and you decline after taking an option then this deposit will not be refunded. If an advertised house on our website is listed as ‘in option’ then the property can temporarily not be inspected.

When more than one party is interested in a house the owner has the final say in deciding who will be the tenant. To this end the time of registration and credit reports can be important.

Owners of houses and other property value tenants who have a good credit report. A&N Vastgoed has set a couple of conditions for tenants who would like to rent a house. It is therefore important that your monthly salary, before taxes, is 4 times the basic rent that has to be paid. The candidate is always selected by the owner. We reserve the right to perform a credit check of the potential candidate and all documents will be sent to the owner for approval.
