We rented this place in 2023 and the gas meter is ancient—probably original. The landlord says it needs replacing before winter. I'm worried about who pays and what the actual cost will be. Is this a big job? Should I push back or just let him arrange it?

Gas meter replacement is the landlord's responsibility under Dutch rental law (Article 7:217 BW)—he must maintain the installation in working order. Cost typically ranges €250–€550 (2026) depending on complexity and whether your pipes need minor adjustment. Most jobs take 1–2 hours. The utility company (Stedin, Liander, etc.) may also charge a connection fee (€50–€150). Don't pay for this yourself. If your landlord delays, document it and contact the huurdersbond. Post the job on AstraNL to see what local certified gas engineers in Delft would charge—you'll get real quotes to share with your landlord so he can budget properly.
