Frequently asked questions
About Eschertoren 7A, Leiden
Is €1,475 a fair rent for this apartment?

What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is C. This is an official registration, recorded in the national energy label database. It indicates the home's energy performance, but it does not say anything about the condition of the building itself. A label C is mid-range, so you can expect moderate energy costs.
