Studio or not?
I've got an offer by an agency to rent a studio inside a bigger building, however they've sent heir calculation by Huurprijscheck and it is 80 points, Based on that they claim allowed rent can be max 716.80 euros. This is true for a room, so a non-independent living space, however studios are independent as far as i know and the 80 points there allows 500.38 euros of rent. This place is in a bigger house, but entrance and all is private, only the laundry room is shared. I wonder if they are allowed to claim this as a room and charge higher price because of that. The charges amount to 288€ euros a month which seems also excessive as well as the agency charging 180 euros administrative cost. I feel like this is a clear winner with Huurcomissie.
Charges: G/W/E : 110€
De vergoeding voor de overige zaken en diensten (servicekosten) die geleverd worden in verband met de bewoning van het gehuurde: 163€
Agency fee (on top of administrative costs)(monthly): 15€
