Ik verhuis volgende maand uit mijn appartement in Amsterdam (jaren niet goed schoongemaakt door vorige bewoner). Het fornuis ziet zwart van het vet. Landlord verwacht het schoon terug. Moet ik dit zelf proberen of beter professioneel laten doen? En wie betaalt eigenlijk?
✓ Accepted answer
As a tenant in the Netherlands, you're responsible for returning the property in 'normal wear and tear' condition per Dutch law (BW 7:17). Baked-on grease on appliances is typically your obligation to clean. Professional degreasing of a heavily soiled stovetop usually costs €80–150 depending on severity and size. Some cleaners charge hourly (€25–40/hour) if it's part of a broader end-of-tenancy clean. Your landlord cannot deduct this from your deposit if the property was already neglected when you moved in—document that with photos. Trying DIY with heavy-duty degreasers first might save money, but professionals have industrial products and experience.
