What if I'm not overpaying?

We tell you. If your rent is within the legal maximum, you'll see that in the free estimate. No reason to pay for the exact calculation.

What do I get for EUR 24.95?

Your exact WWS point calculation with a full 12-category breakdown, a demand letter with the correct legal basis for your situation, Huurcommissie filing documents, and deadline tracking.

Is the demand letter legally valid?

It references the correct articles from the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek Book 7) and follows the format the Huurcommissie expects. You review it and send it yourself.

What if my landlord doesn't respond?

We prepare the Huurcommissie complaint form and supporting documents. You download them and file directly. The Huurcommissie process does not require a lawyer.

Can I get money back for past overpayment?

Depending on your situation, yes. If your contract started less than 6 months ago, Art. 7:249 BW may allow you to recover overpayment back to the start of your contract. If your contract is older, Art. 7:252 BW allows a forward-only rent reduction. DepoBack determines which applies and generates the correct letter.

No. The Huurcommissie process is designed for tenants to handle without legal representation. DepoBack prepares all the documents you need.

Is your rent too high?

DepoBack helps tenants in the Netherlands check whether they are overpaying rent under Dutch law. Enter your address and current rent.

Free estimate in 30 seconds. Exact calculation, demand letter, and Huurcommissie filing documents for €24.95 one-time (includes VAT).

Upload your contract. We calculate your exact WWS points across 12 categories and show you the legal maximum rent for your property.

3. Send the letter, we track the rest

We generate the demand letter with the correct legal basis (Art. 7:249 BW for contracts under 6 months, Art. 7:252 BW for older contracts). You review and send. We track deadlines and prepare Huurcommissie escalation documents if your landlord doesn't respond.

Yes. Enter your address and current rent. No account, no payment, no email required.

What do I get for €24.95?

Exact WWS point calculation with full 12-category breakdown, demand letter with the correct legal basis, Huurcommissie filing documents, and deadline tracking.

How is this different from the Huurcommissie's own tool?

The Huurcommissie tool requires you to answer 40+ questions and look up your own property data. DepoBack pulls your data automatically, calculates points, and generates the demand letter and filing documents. Same legal method, less work.
