Early signalling by landlords
Statutory obligation and the NVVK framework
Since the amended Municipal Debt Counselling Act (WGS), landlords are subject to early signalling obligations: arrears must — in accordance with the statutory and covenant-based implementation — be notified to the tenant's municipality in a timely manner via the agreed digital chain. The NVVK facilitates, among other things, the signing portal (Ondertekenportaal) and model agreements with municipalities.

Outsourcing to a collection partner or enforcement officer
The NVVK states, among other things, the following (paraphrase of the publicly available text; always verify the current page on the NVVK website):
If as a landlord you do not wish to submit arrears notifications to the municipality yourself but would prefer to outsource this to a collection partner or enforcement officer, that is possible. That party can also register for the NVVK signing portal, via the same registration form.
What Van den Bosch does for landlords
We can arrange this for you. As a signal partner we combine:
- Taking the burden off you — you do not need to navigate multiple portals and municipal agreements yourself.
- Expertise — legal knowledge of debt collection and rent arrears alongside the WGS procedure.
- Compliance — process design ensuring notifications meet the requirements of the law and the covenant.
We guide you in parallel with the out-of-court process and — where necessary — subsequent legal steps. See also guidance on rent arrears.
