What to look out for in Leiden
The points on which proposals differ most in practice.
Rental value versus vacancy risk
Setting the asking rent one euro per m² too high in Leiden can easily lead to months of vacancy. Calculate the cost of three months of vacancy against a lower rent with a tenant who signs straight away.
Use incentives wisely
A rent-free period, a fit-out contribution or a phased rent increase is a one-off cost, whereas a lower base rent reduces your property's value structurally. It pays to calculate each scenario.
Lease and security
Use the ROZ model lease, make a considered choice between 5+5 or a shorter term with a break option, and request a bank guarantee or deposit equivalent to three months' rent including service charges.
Energy label C requirement and building services
Office space must have at least energy label C. Without a valid label, you may not let it, and tenants also choose properties with lower energy costs.
