Applying for a conversion permit for letting accommodation

Do you own a (residential) property? And do you want to rent out rooms in your property? You will need a conversion permit (omzettingsvergunning kamerverhuur) from your municipal authority. This permit allows you to change your independent residential accommodation into non-independent accommodation. You apply for a conversion permit to the municipality (in Dutch).

Non-indepedent occupancy

Non-independent means the units do not have their own front door. This applies to both rented and owner-occupied properties. The conditions for a conversion permit vary depending on the municipality and are laid down in the local municipal Housing Regulations (Huisvestingsverordening).
