About Sanne Visser
Sanne writes and reviews Huisly's educational coverage of Dutch housing rules and tenant rights. The articles translate complex rules into practical checks and direct readers to the official organisation responsible for the current requirement.
Her writing covers the practical legal questions that renters and buyers face every day: what clauses in a rental contract are unenforceable, how to get a deposit back, how the WWS points system works, and what the 2024 Wet betaalbare huur means for tenants in the free sector.
The articles provide general information, not individual legal advice. For a dispute or significant contract decision, readers should verify the current rule with sources such as the Dutch government, Rent Tribunal, municipality, or a qualified legal adviser.
Areas of expertise:
- Dutch rental contract law (huurrecht)
- Tenant rights and protections (Huurcommissie, ROZ)
- Wet betaalbare huur and WWS points system
- Deposit disputes and eviction procedures
- Service costs (servicekosten) and what landlords can charge
