The Dutch Good Landlordship Act (Wet goed verhuurderschap) and staffing CAO set strict rules for international worker accommodation: a rental agreement separate from the employment contract, transparent costs, privacy and certified safety standards. During intake, ACS always confirms in advance whether housing and staff transport are available for your assignment.
1. What the Good Landlordship Act protects
The Wet goed verhuurderschap protects tenants and international workers through national baseline standards and municipal enforcement.
- Mandatory separation between the employment contract and the rental contract.
- Written information on tenant rights in a language the worker understands.
- Municipal reporting points where tenants can report issues free of charge.
2. Living quality, fire safety and privacy standards
Accommodation arranged for temporary workers must meet strict quality benchmarks (aligned with SNF standards) covering living space, sanitary facilities, fire safety and private sleeping quarters.
- Adequate living space, privacy and clean sanitary facilities.
- Fire safety equipment, smoke detectors and clear emergency instructions.
- Transparent cost specification within statutory and CAO limits.
3. Rules on payroll deductions under the WAS
Under the Sham Arrangements Act (WAS), deductions from the statutory minimum wage for certified housing and health insurance are strictly regulated and require explicit written authorization.
4. Organized staff transport to industrial and logistics sites
Many distribution centres, production plants and greenhouses in Noord-Brabant operate early or late shifts outside public transit hours. ACS coordinates organized commuting transport per assignment so teams arrive safely and on time.
5. Why reliable transport and housing matter for employers
For hiring companies, well-organized transport and stable accommodation directly reduce absenteeism and improve shift punctuality.
6. Confirming availability during your ACS intake
Whether housing or staff transport applies to a specific vacancy depends on location, availability and your situation. All arrangements are confirmed in writing before your assignment starts.
