We're renting a 45 m² living room in a 1950s townhouse in Den Haag. The current wooden floor is warped and creaky. Our landlord says we can upgrade it if we cover the cost. We're wondering: is this worth doing, and what should we budget? Are there rules about who pays for this kind of work in a rental?

In Dutch rentals, floor replacement usually falls on the landlord under maintenance duty (BW 7:17), unless your lease says otherwise. If you upgrade voluntarily, you typically bear the cost—expect €2,500–€4,500 for a 45 m² room: €45–70/m² for materials (oak, walnut, or engineered wood) plus €30–50/m² labour for removal, preparation, and installation. Age of the house adds time due to uneven subfloors. Agree on cost-sharing in writing first.
