That was due to a specific statute on intermediary fees in tenancy laws. It doesn’t silly to this situation.

Disclaimer: was an attorney, now just of the armchair variety when I’m not buy as a code monkey, NL was where I went to law school



A quick google search seemed to indicate it was a general e-commerce related law, which is why I brought it up, but happy to take your word over mine.


Actually, you might be right and I might be wrong.

It’s been a few years since I’ve left the low lands and a bit longer since I stopped practicing law, so who knows what has happened in the meantime.

I mainly jumped on it because I know of a rental specific statute, having used it a few times, so just assumed that’s what you were talking about.

I haven’t looked into it further so it might just as well be that I was too confident in thinking that’s what you were talking about.
