Two (private) rental properties in my name in other cities

Questioner

I live in a private rental home in Amsterdam. I am in Rotterdam for 3-4 days because of work. Now I am thinking about registering for a private home in Rotterdam together with a friend who is looking for a home in Rotterdam. Is this allowed? The one home in Amsterdam is in my name and the one in Rotterdam would then be in my name and that of that friend.

Lawyer

You are obliged by your rental contract in Amsterdam to actually live and stay there. As you yourself, you are elsewhere about half of the time. You will then violate a provision in your contract. The question is whether your landlord will be able to know this and then find it so serious that he will terminate the contract. (Recurring) Vacancy is also a valid reason for termination. In addition, the fact that you also have financial obligations for a rental property elsewhere will be a reason for landlord two not to allow you to become a co-tenant.
