We're renting a house in Groningen and the wooden fence along our property line is falling apart. The landlord says it's our responsibility to fix it. We want to replace it with a simple wooden fence, about 1.5 meters high and roughly 25 meters total length. What's a realistic budget, and do we really have to pay for this as tenants?

For a basic wooden fence (1.5m high, 25m long) in Groningen, expect €1,500–€2,800 depending on wood quality and whether posts need digging into concrete. However: under Dutch law (Burgerlijk Wetboek 7:17), structural repairs like fences are typically the landlord's responsibility unless your lease states otherwise. Check your contract and ask your landlord in writing. If it's genuinely your responsibility or you're replacing a broken fence on your own property, material costs, labour (€40–€60/hour), and site prep drive the price.
