€7,400
The tenant appealed. The landlord still prevailed.
In Amsterdam, a corporate tenant challenged the retention of a €7,400 rental deposit following claims for damage and cleaning. The landlord submitted a written account of the handover, photos and videos, and repair costs. The appeal was unsuccessful, and the deposit retention was upheld.
Lesson: Document the property’s condition thoroughly and retain evidence that can support your position in a future dispute.
