Legal advice on rental and brokerage fees


Questioner

Our company rents out homes. In October 2012, we rented out a home and received (from the tenant) €500.00 excl. VAT as brokerage fee. We received €195.00 excl. VAT from the landlord. We have now received an email from the tenant on September 5, 2016, in which they wish to annul the provision regarding brokerage costs solely on the basis of Article 7:417 of the Dutch Civil Code. We then indicated that this clause must be annulled within 3 years and that the claim is therefore time-barred. The tenant then turned to legal aid. They are now claiming on the basis of article 7:264 paragraph 2 BW. Is this still possible after an earlier claim was rejected on the basis of another article?

Lawyer

Yes, the tenant may cite multiple grounds if he so wishes, especially if the procedure is not yet underway.
