Just be thankful you don’t let in Amsterdam?
My daughter is renting out her apartment in Amsterdam, having moved to Leiden.
Her tax liability will be based on the size and location of the flat not on the rent charged or profit made after mortgage interest etc.
Also if she allows tenants to stay longer than 1 year 364 days, the tenants have the right to stay as long as they want!
If she needs to sell, it would be with sitting tenants.
Maybe we should be grateful the Government don’t look abroad for ideas!
But who knows what is in store for us if/when Labour get in!

So if at some stage she needed to move back to Amsterdam from Leiden, i.e. to make her old flat her main home again, would she not be entitled to do this?

This sounds horrendous, but can’t be too bad if landlords are still letting their properties. Maybe the rents are significantly higher to compensate.

Rents are not higher in the Netherlands and the government decides how much rents can be raised by, if at all.
The Landlords there are leaving the sector in large numbers.

So in the Netherlands, if you’ve rented out your main home because you need to travel, work away etc. how easy is it to get your home back upon your return?
