Multi-year maintenance plan

This multi-year maintenance (MJOP) plan contains:

• an overview of the maintenance you plan to do to your building the coming 5 years
• an estimate of the costs for the building work
• how much money you will set aside each year for expenditures other than the normal yearly costs, once the period for the maintenance plan is over.

You need to make a separate maintenace plan for each property (with a permit requirement). For an apartment complex you need to make 1 multi-year maintenance plan for the entire building (for all of the apartments together).

You are allowed to send the multi-year maintenance plan of the homeowners association (Vereniging van Eigenaren). This plan, plus the maintenance which each owner pays, fulfils the requirements of the Good Landlordship Act.

• your name and place of residence
• your KVK number (if you have one)
• the address of the rental property
