Deposit for Room Rental and Student Housing in Delft

In Delft, more lenient rules apply for room rentals: the deposit may amount to a maximum of two months' rent (Article 7:232 CC). For students in this vibrant student city, local guarantee funds are often used, such as the TU Delft guarantee fund or Studentenstad Delft. The landlord must conduct an inspection within 14 days after departure, which is especially crucial for the many student rooms around the TU Delft campus and the city center. For multi-family dwellings, typical in neighborhoods such as Hof van Delft or Poptahof, pro rata settlement of the deposit applies. Disputes are resolved via the Delft room dispute committee or the Rent Tribunal in the region. Tip: draw up a collective lease agreement with co-tenants, handy for shared houses in Buitenhof. Interest obligation on the deposit always applies. For short-term rentals like Airbnb in Delft: check the platform conditions and the municipality's local housing ordinance. Document inspections and damage digitally via apps. Need help? Contact the Local Action Platform for Student Housing Delft or the TU Delft student union.
