Karim is going abroad for six months. He wants to rent out his whole rented house to a friend. What is true?

In the exam (Dutch)

Karim gaat zes maanden naar het buitenland. Hij wil zijn hele huurhuis aan een vriend verhuren. Wat is waar?

  1. aThat is only allowed if the neighbours agree.Dat mag alleen als de buren het goed vinden.
  2. bThat is always allowed.Dat mag altijd.
  3. cThat is only allowed if the landlord agrees.Dat mag alleen als de verhuurder het goed vindt.Correct answer

Why?

You cannot simply rent out your whole rented house to someone else. You must first ask the landlord for permission. If the house belongs to a housing association (woningcorporatie), you will almost never get that permission.

Translated with AI. In the exam the question is in Dutch, as shown above.
