Disclaimer

HuurCheckie is a legal tool built to:

• Scan contracts across 47 automated checkpoints
• Identify known risks based on the Dutch Civil Code (Book 7), Rent Tribunal policy rules, and current case law up to December 2025
• Save you time (2 minutes instead of 4+ hours of manual reading)
• Translate complex legal language into understandable language
• Prepare you for conversations with landlords or lawyers

Our analysis is based on:

• 2,400+ anonymized rental contracts
• 850+ Rent Tribunal rulings (2020-2025)
• Legal texts: Dutch Civil Code, Affordable Rent Act, EU directives

How we assess:

• Every clause is checked against the statutory black and grey lists of unreasonable terms
• Risk classification (critical/warning) based on statutes and case law
• Overall legal analysis: indicative, not a substitute for legal advice

*Every finding cites the statute or ruling it rests on, so you can verify it yourself*

HuurCheckie is explicitly NOT:

• A law firm or legal service provider
  We are not a law firm and we do not represent you in court.
• A replacement for professional legal advice
  AI can miss context that a lawyer would catch. For complex cases (>€10,000, lawsuits) always consult a lawyer.
• A guarantee of legal outcome
  Every case is unique, judges rule differently. Our analysis is indicative, not a binding judgment.
• A real-time legislation tracker
  Legislation updates: monthly (latest: Dec 1, 2025). With new laws, information may be outdated.
• A replacement for Rent Tribunal proceedings
  We prepare you, but do not file on your behalf.

How Our Tool Works

HuurCheckie uses Natural Language Processing (NLP) to extract contract text, categorize clauses, compare articles with best practices, and score risks.

What AI Is Good At

• Pattern recognition: identifying standard clauses
• Speed: analyzing 1,000+ clauses in seconds
• Consistency: the same checks every time
• Data coverage: 2,400+ contracts as reference

Where AI Has Limitations

• Contextual nuances: AI sees "€250 fine per day" as high, but doesn't understand this may be reasonable for commercial real estate.
• Edge cases: Unique situations not in training data (e.g., houseboat as residence).
• Interpretive gray areas: Where lawyers disagree, AI may also be uncertain.
• Emotional/relational context: AI only sees text, not the trust relationship between tenant and landlord.
• Recency: Legislation changes faster than AI retraining (updates: monthly).

What This Means For You

• Use HuurCheckie as a first filter
• For "critical" risks → verify with a second source (lawyer, Legal Aid)
• For "warning" → context matters: read yourself and judge
• For "safe" → usually OK, but stay critical

By using HuurCheckie, you understand that:

• You make your own decisions
  You use our analysis as input, but remain responsible for actions you take (e.g., signing/refusing a contract).
• You do your own due diligence
  HuurCheckie does not replace reading your contract. Always read along and verify our findings.
• You seek professional advice when needed
  When in doubt, with large financial interests (>€5,000), or lawsuits: consult a legal professional or attorney.
• You verify the recency of information
  Legislation changes. Check whether new rules have been introduced since [last update: Dec 1, 2025] via official sources (Rijksoverheid.nl).
• You do not expect guarantees
  Legal outcomes are unpredictable. Even with perfect advice, a judge may rule differently.

What We Expect From You

• Use HuurCheckie as a tool, not as a replacement for your own judgment
• Report errors or ambiguities (help us improve)
• Do not share confidential information that is not needed for analysis
