Permit for room rental in Nijmegen

Room-by-room rental in Nijmegen requires a permit via municipal regulations (housing regulation or zoning plan). Whether the permit transfers upon sale depends on how it was granted.

  • Request your permit decision from the municipality of Nijmegen (nijmegen.nl).
  • Check if the permit is property-bound or in a specific name.
  • Check if the number of let rooms is equal to the number of permitted rooms.
  • Have fire safety documents and an up-to-date rent list ready.

Rules differ per municipality and change regularly. Therefore, always check the current conditions on nijmegen.nl. More general explanation can be found on our page about the room rental permit.

What is your multi-occupancy house in Nijmegen worth?

The indicative value is the base annual rent of all rooms, divided by the yield that buyers demand. An uncertain permit file or overdue maintenance increases that yield and therefore lowers the price.

With our calculation tool, you can make an initial estimate in one minute based on the number of rooms and the rent per room.
