For rental mediation we charge in most cases, depending on the specific home and region, 1 month’s rent excluding VAT. This is based on a rental period of at least 12 months. In case the house is rented out for a shorter period, the brokerage fee is pro rata to the rental period with a minimum of € 1,000 excluding VAT.

If the tenant wants to continue to live in the house after the first rental period and you agree with this as the landlord, EHR can prepare a new rental agreement at your request. The costs for this are € 275.00 excluding VAT. We strongly advise you to hire an expert if you sign a new contract with the current tenant.

EHR does not charge the tenant for mediation costs. However, it is possible to assign EHR as your rental agent, to use the Tenant Service or the Expat Service. Please note that there are additional costs involved.
