Hoe de huurprijs van Rajat verlaagd werd van €900 naar €324 per maand

Rajat

Rajat rented a compact 32 m² studio in Utrecht for € 900 a month and suspected the price didn't match the points system, but wasn't sure how to check it himself. Huurfix took the case to the Huurcommissie, which set a fair rent of € 324.40. Rajat got around € 3,820 in overpaid rent back. "I knew exactly where the case stood."

900

I moved to Utrecht and rented a compact 32 m² studio in a nice, quiet neighbourhood. The monthly rent was € 900, which felt steep for the space and the condition. I suspected the rent wasn't aligned with the points system, but wasn't sure how to check or challenge it on my own.

Mostly I felt frustrated. The price-quality ratio didn't make sense, and I worried about pushing back in case it damaged the relationship with the owner. I also didn't have time to figure out the legal details of the points system and the Rent Tribunal process myself.

Once Huurfix took over, it was clear and efficient. Jan explained the points system, gathered the right documents, and handled the Rent Tribunal steps end to end. Communication was transparent, timelines were realistic, and I always knew exactly where the case stood. The Huurcommissie set a reasonable rent of € 324.40, and I received around € 3,820 in overpaid rent back, plus statutory interest. With that money, I'm treating myself to a weekend trip to Lapland to see the Northern Lights!

Ervin

Ervin's 38 m² one-bedroom apartment in Eindhoven came with a rent that felt completely out of proportion. He handed it to Huurfix, his rent dropped by € 335 a month, and after almost two years in the place he got a significant amount back. "You have options, and Jan makes the process incredibly easy."

Eronmonse

Eronmonse moved to Eindhoven for a new job and, in a desperate search for housing, agreed to a rent he later learned was overpriced. When he found out Huurfix could look into it, it confirmed he was overpaying. Jan took over the whole case, and his rent was officially reduced, with € 18,831.62 in overpaid rent paid back. "Please check if you are also overpaying, it is absolutely worth it."

Ronald

Ronald zocht via Kamernet naar een betaalbare woonruimte in Hilversum, dicht bij zijn fulltime werk, en kon nooit begrijpen hoe de huurprijzen zo hoog konden zijn. Via Instagram kwam hij bij Huurfix terecht. Na een half jaar ging zijn huur € 416,69 per maand omlaag. "Nu kan ik ervoor kiezen om meer te genieten van mijn vrije tijd."

Simone

Simone huurde een appartement van 49 m² in Den Bosch en vond het contact met Huurfix vanaf het begin snel en soepel. Binnen één week was de huurverlaging al geregeld, rechtstreeks met de verhuurder, zonder gedoe. Haar huur ging € 164 per maand omlaag. "Het geeft vertrouwen om het uit handen te geven aan een partij die weet wat ze doen."

Btissam

Btissam paid € 1,295 for a 40 m² apartment and found it too high for the space. A pricey by-the-hour lawyer put her off, until a letter from Huurfix landed: pay only if it works. Months of work on their end and none on hers later, her rent dropped by € 355 a month. "A win is a win."
