Square Rent

Square Rent is a Netherlands based, tenant oriented legal service that addresses rental disputes under Dutch rental law. The firm presents itself as a modern version of a lawyer, offering professional legal expertise for a small price and operating on a no cure, no pay model. It assists tenants with lowering rents, reclaiming overpaid rent, service costs or agency fees, and handles other rental disputes through a combination of advice, mediation and litigation as required.

Square Rent emphasizes accessible, careful client service, taking a thorough look at each tenant's rental situation to determine the best course of action. It focuses on lowering rents to the maximum allowed, reducing service costs, recovering deposits and refunds for agency fees, and resolving issues related to defects or undefined charges in the all in price. The team negotiates with landlords and, if necessary, initiates the correct procedures and represents the client to ensure compliance with decisions, including pursuing action before the Rent Assessment Committee or in court.

Floris Vaneveld is the founder and driving force behind Square Rent. He studied Law at Leiden University and completed Masters in Civil Law and Criminal Law. Square Rent was not founded for profit, but to help tenants with their rental rights. The firm positions itself as a modern, affordable alternative to traditional lawyers, combining accessibility with strong expertise and a disciplined approach to achieving favorable outcomes for tenants.
