I have been living here for a good 1.5 years now and now find out that this is an advance payment and that the excess payment must be paid back by the landlord every year. Is it possible to claim this back retroactively for the past 1.5 years? And what can I do if the landlord says that the meter readings have not been recorded (I expect the landlord to come up with such an excuse)?\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n The text of the lease and that of others, if any, must show the intention of the landlord; does he rent with or without utilities and is that amount an advance or fixed amount. I must therefore read the contract.\n\n","brand":"Rechtswinkel.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55006253220189,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rechtswinkel.nl\/en\/products\/vragen-51668-ik-ben-een-student-die-een-kamer-huurt-waarvan-naast-de-kale-huurprijs-50-euro-per-maand-gerekend-wo","provider":"Rechtswinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
