Will you be using a new home soon and will this be a rental home? Then it is wise for many cases to approach and tackle the selection of a floor for such a home slightly differently at a buy house. In this blog we dive, from Solza.nl , Deeper into What floors are suitable for a rental property and why . Very handy!
How do you get the property completed?
In many cases, rental properties have already had quite a few owners prior to you moving into the house. In practice, we are often that someone when he or she leaves the house has to leave the rental house empty. This is in most cases included in the lease or in special conditions. Walls must be bare or white and the floor must be removed. Often you get the house delivered with a bare screed. In most cases there is no floor in the rental house yet, so you have the opportunity to decorate the house to your taste. Is there already a floor in the rental house and does it not meet your wishes or taste? Then you can adjust the floor in consultation with the landlord.
Do you also need to remove the floor again?
In the contract of the rental home or in the terms and conditions of the landlord, you will therefore find the rules regarding the floor for your specific rental home. When choosing the type of floor, take these guidelines into account and make sure that if you deviate from this, you always do this in consultation with the landlord, so you will avoid problems. Should you, for example, make the house bare again (so without floor) when you leave and do you not plan to live here for 30 years? Then it may be useful to choose a floor that you can lay floating, such as for example Laminate Or Click PVC . These floors are loose on the screed and subfloor and you can take with you relatively easily when you leave the house.

Rent an apartment? Think of the sound!
In the Netherlands, and also other parts of Europe, there are rules about noise from neighbors in apartments and flats, for example. No one is waiting for every footstep of the upstairs neighbor to be heard in your home. That is why specific noise correction standards have been drawn up. In the Netherlands, the 10dB noise reduction is almost always effective. This means that the floor must meet requirements and have been tested for this in terms of noise reduction. Does your floor not meet here and will there be complaints? Then the landlord can demand that you apply another floor. Paste PVC Floors always meet this standard. For laminate and click PVC there are To obtain special subfloors that significantly reduce the noise .
What do you want to spend on the floor?
In addition to the practicalities, it is also wise to take into account the financial side of laying a floor in a rental home. Do you plan to live in the house for a long time or do you want to take the floor to a next home? Then it is worth investing in a floor of higher quality and therefore also with a higher square meter price. Do you prefer not to live in the rental home for so long and does the floor not matter much to you in that sense? Then you can also look at a cheaper floor. Keep in mind that in the world of floors, cheap is always expensive.
