Houseboat law

All owners and tenants of houseboats will sooner or later be confronted with the legal aspects of living on the water. Houseboat law is a complex of national laws and regulations, local ordinances and private entity rules governing important issues such as anchoring and mooring, ownership, liability, permits, rent protection and environmental requirements.

The Netherlands and Amsterdam are a home to many houseboats. Van der Woude de Graaf is one of the very few law firms with the experience and knowledge to provide affordable, high quality legal advice and representation in cases on all aspects of houseboat law.
