We're renting a modern apartment built around 2005 in Amsterdam-West. The extractor hood above the stove is broken and our landlord says we need to replace it. It's a standard 60cm stainless steel model. We're wondering if this is our responsibility as tenants or the landlord's, and what kind of budget we should expect if we end up paying.

In Dutch rental law (BW 7:17), the landlord is responsible for maintaining essential appliances and fixtures, including extractor hoods—so this should be their cost, not yours. However, if you caused the damage, you may be liable. For a standard hood replacement in 2026: expect €150–€350 for the hood itself, plus €80–€200 for professional installation (1–2 hours labor). Total: roughly €250–€550. Costs vary by hood quality, ductwork complexity, and whether ducting needs adjustment. If it's the landlord's responsibility, ask them to arrange and pay.
