Our rental agreement states that due to a minimum term of 12 months, the agreement cannot be terminated prematurely: “this rental agreement cannot be terminated prematurely by the parties during the minimum term of twelve (12) months because this rental agreement does not fall under the rental regime of two (2) years (independent living space) or five (5) years (non-independent living space) or shorter pursuant to article 7:271 paragraph 1 of the Dutch Civil Code”.\n\n My question to you is what are our options. For example, is it possible to nominate new tenants?\n\n Yours sincerely,\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e \nI understand from your message that you no longer want to continue living in the rented house and would like to end your contract earlier than agreed in the rental agreement. In some cases, a rental agreement cannot indeed be terminated prematurely. However, because your situation has changed, you can submit a request for early termination to your landlord.\n\n Regarding your question about finding new tenants: Providing new tenants yourself can be a solution, but the wishes of the landlord must be taken into account. It is possible that the landlord has specific requirements for new tenants and that new tenants must rent under the same conditions. It is also possible that the landlord wants to select the tenant himself or has his own selection procedures.\n \nThe best approach is to thoroughly review your lease and its terms and conditions and talk to your landlord about your position and possible solutions. Depending on your landlord’s position, legal counsel may be able to advise you on your rights and options. Since this is general advice only, it is advisable to consult a lawyer or attorney for specific legal advice applicable to your situation.\n\n -----------\n\n Stichting Rechtswinkel.nl is a national organization with students and volunteers.
